I am currently organising my wedding for 2019, my partner isn't a drinker...

I am currently organising my wedding for 2019, my partner isn't a drinker but my family and some of his are. He has said he wants no drinking, or alcohol free, during the wedding breakfast and asked if Drinking starts from 6-7pm. I don't know how to bring this subject up with my family?? Advice please

How do you feel about the not drinking? Could you come to a compromise (that's if you wanted to drink). If not I'd just tell your family. They are there for you and I'm sure will respect your wishes on how you want to celebrate the day xx

If you are happy with the no drinking then I would just tell them. If not then I would try to compromise. Just out of interest what do you plan to use for the toasts? X

If you are happy with his option then just dont tell people. You could provide sparkling elderflower for toasts. And just make sure the venue knows to keep the bar closed til a certain point. Although you might find the venue to be a bit tricky on this as that is where a lot of their money. X

Also if the bar is shared (ours will be as its a golf clubhouse) then you might find people just go buy drinks anyway. X
