[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh - [b]we charged for cocktails because we didn’t want people to drink so much that they risked getting into a wreck and taking lives of people down the country roads on the way home. If they really needed a drink, then they should pay for it. [/b]And we did offer free wine with dinner. Plus, we already had 150 guests and the bill was already quite high. People are not gonna remember that. And if they do, then they are petty. Also, we could not allow children other than the ringbearer and the flower girl, because we were limited to 150 guests.[/quote]

So you're fine with them taking a life as long as it wasn't your money paying for the alcohol that made the accident happen?[/quote]

Right?! This is the most absurd logic I’ve ever read to justify making guests pay for drinks.

[b]If you’re concerned about drinking and driving (something I actually care about very much) then have your wedding where guests can easily get back home/to their hotel without driving. [/b]We had a hotel wedding a couple blocks from a metro station/in a busy and walkable area where people could get around on foot, metro, or Uber (or stay at the hotel venue). I have never really liked the weddings out on country roads unless transportation back to lodging (or at least to civilization) is provided. It’s so irresponsible to plan a boozy party out in the middle of nowhere so you can get your pretty scenic photographs and then expect your guests to get themselves home.

This happened to us once out of state on dark roads in a rural area. I stayed the DD because it was my DH’s family member’s wedding and I wanted him to have fun. But I didn’t feel comfortable even relaxing with a glass of wine knowing I’d be driving unknown winding roads later. [/quote]

They didn't GAF about drinking and driving, let's be real. People can get plenty drunk on beer and wine too. They were cheaping out on two fronts, the tacky cash bar and not providing a shuttle or other transportation. People will definitely remember that and it's not really petty. "We had 150 people and the bill was already quite high...." that right there is cutting corners and not having the wedding you can afford. VERY tacky.[/quote]
