So let me start off by saying we are having an open bar at our wedding from cocktail hour (starting at 6:30) until 10:30 at our reception. We extended our reception by an hour so it will end at 11:30. By doing that we could also not afford to keep an open bar going for another hour as well.
Our options are either shut down the bar entirely or turn it into a cash bar.
I am mortified of a cash bar but I don’t want guests not to have an option to drink. We have a big drinking crowd also.
I know someone will say etiquette on this is a regional thing or a know your own crowd thing. Our guests are literally from all over the US, but mostly New England, New York and the south east.
Help! Cash bar vs no bar?!
