> 5 hour open bar. in a way is a stupid idea. not that it has its benefits like drunken mishaps… but i didnt want friends and family sloshed. :lol i sure will be :angelsmiley. they offered us open bar for the night and it saves us over 1500 cant rememebr the exact number. Our orig budget was ~10k. were in the 15k range now :lol trying to have a small wedding ~100 or so people, and save the money for the honeymoon/buying new cars for the both of us.

we are having a small wedding as well. 90 people its starting to look like. Like I said, we are doing 5 hour open bar, one hour cocktail etc…however, the open bar is included in the food total as well which is a buffet style setup…our total is under 7k right now for everything. Food, liquor, cocktail hour etc. etc and we have 20g’s to spend. We are keeping it low key because with the extra money we have, is our down payment on a house. I might even sell my camaro/quad to add into the down payment to get the house on the property we want. Toy’s can come later down the down…right now, being 23 I would like to settle down. Get financially set and play time will come down the road.

BTW, open bar makes the party IMO. I have been to many weddings with/without alcohol and the ones without are always boring. Alcohol makes the new family’s mingle and have a good time.

me and my girl are trying to make this not only fun for us, but the same level of fun for our family’s.
