Is a dry wedding for you?

A wedding without the presence of alcohol might sound to some grooms like a circus without animals, but the reality is, it’s far cheaper and more memorable than the average wedding. A wedding earlier in the day is easier to pull off sanz booze because you typically only reach the “boozing hour” toward the end of the reception, at which point particularly thirsty guests are welcome to jet for the nearest dive to get their drink on. If you want to save money without abandoning tradition entirely, you could simply opt to keep the champagne toast and nix the open bar. If a certain someone gets the shakes by the Father-daughter dance, it may be good practice to refrain; you may have saved them from blurting out something inappropriate about your awkward adolescence anyhow.
