🍸🍷 Full Bar or Just Beer: The Great Wedding Reception Debate 🍻🥂

When it comes to planning your wedding reception, deciding between a full bar and beer/wine only can be a tough choice. Let's weigh the pros and cons:

Full Bar:
- With a full bar, guests have endless options, from classic cocktails to custom creations.
- Elevate your cocktail hour with signature drinks and craft cocktails that reflect your style and personality.
BUT
- Offering a full bar can significantly increase your beverage budget, especially if you opt for premium liquors and top-shelf brands.
- A wide selection of alcohol may lead to guests overindulging, potentially affecting the atmosphere of your reception.

Beer and Wine Only:
- Simplifying your beverage options can streamline planning and reduce costs.
- Beer and wine tend to be more affordable than spirits, helping you stay within your budget.
- It may be the only option your Venue allows.
BUT
- Some guests may prefer cocktails or specific spirits that aren't available with beer and wine only.
- While beer and wine are often sufficient, some guests may expect a wider selection, especially if they're used to full bars at weddings.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your budget, venue preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create for your wedding reception. Cheers to finding the perfect option for your special day! 🥂✨
