Cash Bar or Open Bar

Q. Cash or open bar? which one is better? what does etiquette say?


A. In years past it was considered inappropriate to expect your guests to pay for any part of your wedding festivities.  However, today, cash bars are common at receptions.  Most couples are concerned about the liability associated with an open bar, not to mention the cost.  When guests purchase their own alcohol, they usually drink less and they stop sooner.  They also incur the liability for their actions, not you.  Liability issues are not limited to automobile accidents.  If one of your guests drinks too much and gets into a fight with another guest, you can be liable if you furnished the alcohol.

If you decide to have an open bar, you can limit the time that alcohol is available (such as for two hours only) and you can limit it to beer and wine.  You and your fiancι should decide together how much you want to spend on the bar, if anything.
