There are many reasons for couples to look for alternatives to alcohol and have a no-alcohol or a “dry” wedding reception.
- One of the couples may be a recovering alcoholic and they prefer that no one drinks at their wedding.
- There may be someone close to the couple who is a recovering alcoholic.
- Maybe a close friend or relative has been hurt or even killed by a drunken driver.
- The bride and groom simply aren’t drinkers or they frown on drinking for religious reasons.
- The wedding or reception site doesn’t allow alcohol on the premises.
- The families don’t want to deal with possibility of someone being hurt or killed following the reception, leaving the couple
to remember such a tragedy every year on their wedding anniversary. - Maybe the wedding budget simply can’t handle the added expense of serving alcohol.
One of the most common questions asked by couples when planning an alcoholic-free reception is how to let their guests know. When sending out your invitations, don’t feel obligated to include the fact that alcohol won’t be served.
Your guests will realize, once they arrive at the reception, that alcohol isn’t part of the celebration. This won’t be a big deal for the majority of your guests. Simply have plenty of other beverages to serve before, with and after the meal.
