10 Wedding Planning Secrets Every Bride Should Know - Part 7 of 10



SECRET #7
MOST OF THE FOOD BUDGET IS ATTRIBUTED TO ALCOHOL – EITHER LIMIT THE VARIETY, THE SERVING TIME,
 OR CUT IT OUR ENTIRELY.

     Alcohol can be a major expense at your wedding. If you are needing to cut corners somewhere in your budget, this would be one of the best areas in which to start.
·         Consider an alcohol-free wedding.
·         You can also make do with just a champagne toast.

     But if alcohol is a must have for your wedding, there are ways to cut the cost of your wedding liquor bill. The amount of money spent on alcohol depends on the quantity and variety of drinks served.
·         A full-time open bar is by far the most expensive route.
·         Consider offering only a signature drink.
·         Consider simply beer and wine as your options.

     The amount of alcohol consumed at a reception is affected by the timing.
·         More alcohol is consumed at evening receptions compared to morning or early afternoon events.
·         The length of the bar service can also affect the overall costs. This is because you are not only paying for the alcohol, but also the bartending services.
