oh you don't want to know about dh's office dinner last january then. lol......it was a black tie affair. cash bar,though. wine was cheapest at 4.00 a glass but the cocktail i liked was a stiff 8.00 a glass.....you'd better believe i nursed my drinks. ;)
I'm from CT and people were just fine with us moving to a cash bar once we had run our tab up ($500 in the first hour). Dh and I had decided before hand that we did not want to pay for more than that for alcohol. Seeing as it was OUR party and that's what WE wanted and what WE could afford, we had no problems (and received no flack) for having a cash bar.
yet again, as so many times on this board, different strokes.
come to think of it,i think our open bar was separate of the sit down dinner cost.......but ypour aunt fanny remark made me laugh - peach fizzy something or another was mom's favorite drink and dad's favorite,the beloved manhattan. lol.
Not necessarily. My bar bill was completely separate from the food bill. That was great as we didn't have to pay for alcohol for guests who were under 21.
I used to be in the event planning business and found that it varies greatly from business to business. Many places give the bar bill separately from the food bill. I just planned a business reception this past spring, and the bar bill was broken out from the food bill - in fact, b/c of the budget I was working with, I was able to negotiate pricing specifically on the bar bill. Some places also give you the choice b/w a per person fee vs a per consumption price.
