In the early stages of wedding planning and looking at budget in the terms of alcohol. We cannot afford to pay for all drinks for the whole day but do have some money so just trying to work out the best way to spend it.
My idea so far is to have a Pimms or a Pint for each guest on arrival (soft drinks like cordials etc also available) and then bubbles for speeches etc and table wine. My partner also like the idea of adding a 'drink ticket' to everyone's invites which can be exchanged for a free drink of their choice at the bar on the night so the evening guests will also have a drink on us. I have a feeling most people will forget to bring the voucher on the day (but I suppose that would lower our bill and we have made an effort!)
What are your thoughts? Are those sufficient arrival drinks? Does it come across as cheap?
