My MOH asked me for advice on alcohol options for the couples shower that BP is throwing for us. They're doing a beer-themed shower and likely serving beer and wine.
The venue she booked has a few options. Have you been to a couples shower where alcohol was served? Was it open bar, cash bar, etc.? What would you suggest she do? Guest list is about 50 people.
1. Cash bar
2. Open bar - but the rate is $29 per person, which is $10 more per person than the food. I don't want the BP to have to pay this, it's absurd.
3. Open bar but pay per consumption (drinks range $4-6)
I understand cash bars are tacky at weddings, but what about at a shower?
We're leaning more toward option 3. The shower is 1:30-4:30 in the afternoon and some have to travel, so there shouldn't be much excess drinking.
What would you do if you were in her shoes? She said their budget is still a little flexible. Thanks everyone!
