Hi, everybody! I have another question

[blushing bride]

My fiance and I will probably have our reception at a club that we go to quite often. We do not want to serve alcohol, just soft drinks, juice and bottled water. There is, however, a bar in the club. How do we let our guests know that we will pay for NON-alcoholic drinks and nothing else? Thanks in advance for your input.

Fortunately, "cash bar" is not something you have to
announce (or write). If the (non-alcoholic) beverages will already be set up in your area, your guests will be able to discern for themselves when they go to the bar that alcoholic drinks are at cost. If a server will be designated to your group, the server will tactfully
mention the fee if a guest orders an alcoholic drink.

You expressed a desire not to be tacky and announcing verbally or
in writing that guests pay for ANYTHING is an ettiquette no, no.
Have a beautiful wedding day.

Thank you for the input. I REALLY don't want to do anything that is considered tacky. I'm new to all of this, and while I realize that this is a special day for my fiance and myself, I also want to make the peopole we share it with as comfortable as possible. I know that there are other places that I could ask these questions, but Cath's forum is the only one that will do so in a decent amount of time. Thanks, again!

You're welcome!

Maybe you will post some of those pretty pictures
of the big day so we can see how beautiful (and fit
thanks to Cathe) you look on your big day.
