Intoxication on your big day

Posted in Wedding Reception 129

Will you guys be drinking at your reception? My family keeps telling me I shouldn’t at all. Which is upsetting, I want to have fun! I’m not trying to get sloppy drunk, will you guys be opting out of drinking?

    My rule is if I’m paying for open bar for everyone else to drink you bet your bottom I’m drinking! I agree with everyone else you do not want to get too sloppy because you also want to remember your wedding and you don’t want to wake up on your first day being married feeling like crap. That might not go down so well LOL! Especially if you have to get on a plane for a honeymoon! But honestly girl it’s a celebration you’re finally getting married! What’s so bad about a few glasses ofWine or champagne or a Cosmo you earned it!

    Girl if I did that the “till death do us part” part would come a lot sooner 😂


    OP, I’ll be drinking, but I am a *huge* lightweight. I’ll have to monitor my drinking through the hours.

    Not me. I can’t tolerate a lot plus there’s plenty of time to have something after.

    Yes I will be drinking at my reception and probably one or two mimosa in the bridal suite while we are getting ready. I think that if you would like to drink on your special day then you should. However if you are a person that may not be able to stop before you get close to your limits than I would suggest making your mom, aunt or bridesmaid that is not likely to do heavy drinking to keep an eye on you and cut you off or tell the bartender ahead of time how many drinks you are able to get to prevent yourself from getting sloppy drunk.

    You know yourself - if you can’t handle alcohol well then obviously don’t - just drink In moderation and make sure you eat!!! Also you’ll be so busy it’s not like you will be just standing at the bar downing them lol but then again idk ! Haha


    I will definitely be drinking , a few with the party while getting ready .. then during the reception

    We will all be drinking (us Catholics love our wine) and I’m marrying a career Navy man (he’s been in the Navy for 9 years) and most of our wedding party is either current military, married to current to military, prior military, or married to prior military, so yes we will be drinking now that being said, we aren’t going to get drunk as a skunk or about as drunk as a first time deployed Navy sailor who hasn’t been outside his hometown. Drink and enjoy and don’t get sloppy or to wasted.

    We are having a dry reception. The insurance and vendor will drive our cost out of our price range. Some people were upset by this when we told them. They are welcome to not come at all. There will be kids there and it's next to a river. That could spell disaster too.

    You should definitely drink at your wedding! Its your big day!! I drank at mine, however I did wait until after we did our first dance. We did our first dance as soon as we made our grand entrance; we took dance lessons and didn't want to risk it and screw up because we drank too much before! After we got through that, then we started drinking, aside from one glass of champagne before just for the jitters! I actually recommend waiting until the reception to drink a lot, otherwise everything is just a blur! A mimosa in the morning with the girls is fine I think, just don't go overboard!
