When is there too much alcohol and too little at a wedding? Or are the wrong drinks offered?

Guests not enjoying the alcohol or scavenging around trying to find a drink is not a good experience and it is also something guests will always remember and talk about.

They don\\u2019t often talk about how great the service was. I mean they might for like 24 hours after the wedding or when they tell the bride and groom how great it was. But, it\\u2019s the complaining they will always remember and talk about forever.

So here are my pointers for alcohol.

1. You do not need to offer every single drink under the sun. Guests don\\u2019t appreciate it or care. This includes spirits.

2. You only need 1 white, 1 red, 1 sparkling and a couple of beers. Guests get confused and don\\u2019t appreciate it.

3. You do need to make them the most popular so like a\\xa0 Sauvignon Blanc in white wine. Talk to the venue as they will recommend the most popular and all venues offer something different.

4. You don\\u2019t need to have a TAB for spirits if you have a drinks package. You might like to just do it for your bridal party or parents or you and your partner. Guests can and will pay for their spirits if they want them. Guests know this is protocol.

5. If you have a drinks package and you have extended the finish time then you can let guests pay cash for their drinks at the end. If you are doing a TAB do that last after the drinks package. Then do cash. This is then less confusing and flows better.

6. It\\u2019s ok to NOT have drinks for the final 30 minutes. They will usually still have one in their hand or have had enough.

7. There should always be drinks poured and ready on arrival. This makes a great first impression.

At the end of the day the guests are only expecting basic so you only need that and if you are on a tight budget then just have the first couple of hours of supplied alcohol and then have cash after that. This is especially a good option if you are worried because they are big drinkers.

If you are known for something like vodka and you really wanted to show that as everyone knows that about the 2 of you and you don\\u2019t have the budget then just have 1 special vodka drink on arrival or have a guest favour that\\u2019s about vodka. Doing this creates a surprise and delight and gets guests talking about your wedding.
