Should You Serve Alcohol At Your Wedding?
The food at the wedding is, in my opinion, critical. As a wedding guest, I care more about what I am eating than I do about the bride’s dress. Call me greedy, but I like a good meal. And, more importantly, I like it to be washed down with a good drink. The last wedding I went to served punch. That did not jive well with my taste buds. However, it was not my wedding, so I guess I could not really complain. However, when I am planning my wedding I will take into consideration the drink menu – particularly, should wine be served?
If you have the budget for wine, than go for it. However, a lot of people go without alcohol because of the cost. Often, the alcohol will cost as much per person as the food. If you do not want to go without it, but you want to keep within your budget, be creative.
Ask the venue if you can bring your own wine. You could also serve cheaper alcohol. And, if you are buying alcohol mainly for your friends to abuse you for a free night of drinking, consider going without it. Lastly, if you do have alcohol, respect those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
