Then, you were stopped short by your parent&#8217;s question: &#8220;What is your budget?&#8221; What does \u201cbudget\u201d even mean? What you have in your savings account? Or the over-all, big picture? Well: Yes, a combination of the two. Some considerations are who you want there and what kind of a wedding day you picture. After those decisions are made, you consider how much you are willing to spend on that picture. To save money, you can eliminate large guest lists, expensive destination weddings or live music. And you can consider the alcohol. There are many ways to approach the alcohol at a wedding, while still staying within a strict budget. Here are a couple of ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You\ncould serve only beer and wine<\/li><li>You\ncould only have a champagne toast<\/li><li>You\ncould skip the signature drink<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people expect to celebrate at a wedding \u2013 helping you celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime, dream-come-true moment \u2013 but there are ways to make it less expensive and less stressful. ABC Consulting says that there is such a thing as Alcohol Etiquette \u2013 and it might look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If\nyou are considering a cash bar, don&#8217;t. It is your party and you invited them.\nOffer one thing to drink and when that is &#8220;gone,&#8221; make sure there is\na backup (a bar that is open and serving in the building) plan.<\/li><li>Sticking\nto beer &amp; wine, only, definitely saves money. Skip the hard stuff.<\/li><li>Fill\nchampagne glasses 1\/3 full. (Many of these will remain on the table untouched,\nanyway; no sense throwing away money)<\/li><li>Or\ndon&#8217;t use champagne &#8211; use a bubbly wine, instead.<\/li><li>Sticking\nto ONE drink (a signature cocktail that means something to you and your fianc\u00e9\nor to the area) definitely saves money (and bartender costs). <\/li><li>Don&#8217;t\nlet your guests wait in line for a drink &#8211; but use this equation: one bar and\ntwo bartenders for every 100 guests to make sure you aren&#8217;t spending too much\non staff standing around. And if you do use more than one bar &#8211; put them on\nopposite sides of the room in plain sight. <\/li><li>If\nyou don&#8217;t drink (and aren&#8217;t opposed to drinking), please offer your guests the\nability to celebrate. <\/li><li>If\nyou don&#8217;t drink and are opposed to it &#8211; skip it but offer something gimmicky:\nspecialty sodas or flavored waters or offer a coffee bar with all the toppings:\nsyrups, creams, etc., instead. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ABC Consulting helps the &quot;Happily-Ever-After&quot; become a reality\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4DzWr7cB6Z8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"ABC Consulting helps the \"Happily-Ever-After\" become a reality\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are celebrating in a barn, at a community building or in a field, you must have an alcohol license to serve alcohol.
