The post was titled: ‘Cash Bar Exclusive Opinion?’
She explained: ‘Is it tacky to make guests pay for their own drinks? I’m getting married in eight and a half months and there are a couple of people (both on my side and my fiance) who are horribly drunk.
“I’m a little worried that if you pay for alcohol, these people will take advantage and become terrible.”
The bride noted that although she was making the decision to protect herself from drunk guests, she was worried that attendees would judge her for forcing them to spend money to drink alcohol.
She added: “But I also don’t want to offend my other guests by making them think I’m being vulgar and stingy.”
‘What do I have to do?’
At the end of the post, she revealed that she and her future husband were giving away two bottles of wine at each table.
“We also plan to supply each table with a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine during dinner,” he said.

One person said: “A cash ban won’t stop people from becoming belligerent if that’s what they intend to do.”
Another user added: “Honestly, a bottle of red and a bottle of white is a bit cheap.” People will get drunk, even if they have to pay. Get a drink package and hire a security guard; send a message to all guests telling them that the venue has informed them that they have a very strict policy on serving drinks to intoxicated guests and to have fun, stop worrying.’
Someone else wrote: ‘Yes, it’s in bad taste. The worst thing is that if you do this, this will be what people remember about your wedding even in 20 years.
‘They will forget about the dinner, the decorations and the ceremony, but everyone will remember that Mr and Mrs Cheapo had a cash bar. (Sorry for saying it so clearly, trying to make a point here). Do you agree with this?
‘In my circle, it’s very vulgar. I have never been to a wedding with a cash bar. And in my family (gossiping Greeks) they talked about it for a while afterwards. The open bar is the only thing I personally wouldn’t sacrifice and I don’t even drink, but I know my guests would want it,” a fourth person commented.
