I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. We are not having any alcohol at all at our wedding, partly because neither my fiance or I drink, and partly because of problems with alcohol and some family members. It's your wedding, your rules.

no of course not it’s your wedding and one of your memories shouldn’t be of a family getting gettin drunk and acting stupid. i have some on my side and my hubby has some on his side and we didn’t have alcohol at our wedding. but we also said if people would bring liquor in their car and drink in the parking lot and come back in (we knew someone would try it) we’d call the cops on them for tresspassing and public intoxication. you wedding day shouldn’t be filled with bad memories like that.

I don't think so. We are only having about a 2-hr reception, so we didn't feel the need to serve it for such a short time. If people want to drink they can do it when they leave at an after-party. I would not worry about it.

I didn't have any alcohol at my wedding for that reason as well.

i don’t think its bad of you at all – in fact i think its a wise decision and i applaud you for being smart enough to follow through with it. in fact you could instead of having champagne have sparkling juices or non-alcoholic wines.
you want your day to be joyous and filled with happy memories, you don’t want to remember foolish behaviour by someone who can’t handle their liquor~stick to your guns girl~it will also save you a fair bit of money!
edit: i wouldn’t even do a cash bar – if they like their booze they’ll pay for it and you’ll end up with the same problem.

happy wedding sweetie and merry christmas!

I like the guy's answer who said get a cash bar. That is a good compromise.

I’m not planning on having alcohol at my wedding either; it is expensive and my future hubby and I don’t really like to drink so we see no point in paying for our friends to get drunk and drive home dangerously.

We might get some Arbor Mist for the toast or cheap champagne. Or me might just use gingerale. Haven’t quite decided.

Well..unless you are Mormon, most people avoid bars in order to avoid the expense of the drinks, so some folks consider it cheap not to have a bar or at least beer and wine. But it is your wedding, so if you are limiting the alcohol as a way to control your guests’ behavior, just do not consider them rude when they stop for a drink before the reception, leave for a drink during the reception and/or leave early to have a drink after the reception. People who drink will drink, it is your day but it does not make you Commander in Chief over your guests. They will be flasking or stashing vodka in their cars, or just leave.
Now if this is an afternoon wedding, without a dinner, just some hors deuovers after – no problem, but do not expect them to take the alcohol control sitting down.
