We've included wine for the meal & bubbles for the toast but the rest of the night will be a paying bar. Any nice ways to phrase it? Just want ppl to know what to expect, ensure the wine gets drunk & they bring extra money!!
CommentAuthorMrsL2Be
What you mean by paying bar?? They pay theirselves??
Were having that to .. But didn't know if to include on invitation .. xx
CommentAuthorMrs_Job
Personally i don't think its really necessary to tell your guests this as its very rare that people do a free bar on weddings nowadays. I really wouldnt worry about it hun x
CommentAuthormcewan07
i haven't included it on the invite, but anyone close knows what to expect. As i have said they will get their 3 glasses then their is the bar they can go to if they wan something else,
CommentAuthorMaggielou
Yeah they pay themselves. Most ppl don't bother including it, but I think things are better when they know what to expect
Im having the same and I havent included it in my invites. People will just bring money anyway as they do on an ordinary night out. People wont care as you will have already fed and given them bubbles and wine xx

I'm not putting it on the invite I think with the amount that people drink these days having an open bar would cost you a bomb and that most people don't expect it, I mean your already shelling out to feed them twice and entertain them all day, ours also get a glass with the meal and a glass to toast so personally I think most people would know there isn't a free bar xx

CommentAuthorsarahwasabride
im having an arrival drink and prob a toast drink but other that that the guests will be buying their own but i havent put it on the invitation xx
CommentAuthorClairebear67
The drinks package on a venue that we are looking at booking has three complimentary drinks for each guest then its pay at the bar, think thats fair enough, not intending to put that on our invitations either.
Hails - what a great idea. Love it. : )
CommentAuthor*Kat B*
there isn't really any requirement to include this in your invites hun i've been to a few weddings over the years and no one's ever mentioned about the bar since people usually need money to pay for accommodation and taxis etc then tend to expect if they want to drink they need money too, wouldn't go on a night round town without ya bank card xx

I agree with everyone else but if you really want to put something I think 'paying bar' is a bit confusing. How about 'complimenatary drinks are available during the meal and speeches only'
