Total Votes: 142
There was a discussion in another post of mine regarding alcohol at wedding receptions so I thought I'd start a new post and gets y'all's opinion.
Would you base your decision to attend a wedding/reception based solely on if there will be alcohol or not?

You're the only one so far that has brought up the price of gifts so ill address your response.
We are having a simple low key reception and IF we do a registry it will be for fairly cheap things, as in most will be 25 bucks or under. We live together and have almost everything we need. He wants a rice cooker and I want a stand mixer and the rest are small things we could use like a decent can opener and a better colander and spatulas and such. Nothing terribly expensive.

I wouldn't not go if there wasn't any, but i would be slightly annoyed. I should be allowed to at least purchase a drink. I don't bring my son to weddings. It's a night out for me. If I am spending $300 on a gift. I should be able to have a drink of my choice.

You don't need alcohol to have a good time and if you do, then you have a problem.
:) Thanks

I know a few people who have had dry receptions because of local laws or regulations. Someone had their reception at a camp so there was no alcohol and you couldn't bring your own.
I think the option should be there, but if the couple can't afford it they don't have to have an open bar.
When df and i get married we are having our reception in our yard. We will just go to the liquor store and buy a bunch of basic stuff and mixers and tell people if they want something specific to bring it themselves. We will have a friend bartend and that's good enough

No I don't go for the alcohol or food.I go to celebrate a very special moment in the lives of the people I know and love.

It depends on who the bride and groom are. Close friends or family members, I'm attending regardless. Acquaintances, there'd better be booze.
