Cash bar reality check

For all of those still stuck on doing a cash bar... Go to a party or a wedding as a guest with a cash bar and see how you feel.

Just went to my cousins sweet 16 last night and my notoriously cheap aunt had a cash bar. It shouldn't have been a shock, but it was. Having to walk back to my purse to get a card to put on file because I had no cash was uncomfortable and annoying. Sorry.. Just still aggravated about it today.

    Oh man I'm not sure where to start.

    1. I would totally need a drink at a sweet 16. I also understand the type of party wasn't the point.

    2. You choose how much you spend on your wedding, you don't get to complain to your guests about it, make them pay for it, or short them on their experience.

    3. BUDGET FOR A BAR.

    4. @Cathy "not good thoughts" made me LOL

    5. I can not wait to serve alcohol to my guests and have a fantastic time with my nearest and dearest. Totally worth the bill.

    Yes, Shanita, I do have the official smart ass badge on my sash. It's not easy to earn; for starters you have to really know how to use the English language.

    But you, my sweet,have entered a rarified club; posters I refuse to even comment on because their grammar and spelling and/OR their shitty, rude ideas make my eyes bleed.

    I'll work on the merit badge. It'll probably have an Oxford comma, a red Solo cup and a drink ticket.

    Do whatever you want. I'm out.

    Um, yeah, so? Why did you invite them if you can't host them? Let's see, for a gift perhaps? Just guessin'!

    If you are trying to say that is a lot of people, my mom had that many women to my shower. At a club. With a full meal. And an open bar. Each person left with a small gift and a large plate of goodies. You know, desserts.

    Mariney, you know I did. YouTube is my friend. If we ever meet, we will Hit the Quan hahahahaha

    Well Shanita, maybe if you didn't invest in 5 dessert choices you could properly host your guests.

    Yep I would never do that to my guests. I did go to a BYOB wedding and it was ridiculous. People got pretty drunk and I was shocked that BYOB was even a thing for weddings

    @Shanita ok good. But in all fairness, please serve your guests some cocktails or the like. Trust me, it will make your event all the more memorable and enjoyable. And it won't be because people are puking or fighting from drinking too much..

    @crystal I love these memes lol!

    And @shanita, yeah I agree with kristy. Offer something. I had the same fear because FH's brother and his cousins have gotten piss drunk and acted up at multiple family affairs. But I decided not to let a couple people effect my wedding. FH will handle them if need be.

    ETA: I'm a grammar nazi until effect vs affect comes up...which one is it lol!!
