Sorry I know I have a lot of threads but different things keep popping into my head and I am finding peoples responses on here very helpful.

Our wedding breakfast guests are having a drinks plan which I will be noting in the invites. But to evening guests how can I word it that there is no free bar?
I'm also putting a note in the wedding breakfast guests invites that if they do not RSVP we are still happy for them to come but no meal or drinks package will be provided.

Want it so that it doesn't sound rude.

To be honest I wouldn't bother writing that it isn't a free bar, we are having a free bar but I think the general consensus these days are that people don't really do that anymore so I think most people would expect it not to be a free bar.

Also I don't think you need to write a note about the wedding breakfast either - people should RSVP and then if they don't then you either chase them up or tell them that if they can't make it then you will pass on the space to someone else. :)

I'm not writing that it isn't a free bar. To be honest I have yet to go to a wedding where there was one. We are having table wine for the WB which we are getting from the venue on a buy and return basis (basically whatever doesn't get drunk on the day is refunded)

The whole point of the RSVP is so you know who's coming. If one of my guests doesn't RSVP and don't get back by a certain date even after chasing up. They aren't coming.

Thanks guys.

You're right, if they don't RSVP then they aren't coming. For the RSVPs they have a menu choice too so without that they'd know they wouldn't be getting a meal.

I've never been to a wedding with a free bar and don't think I ever will. We're certainly not having one, so i would hope people wouldnt expect one for it to make a big deal. I wouldn't even mention it x

To honest the only free drinks guests will be having is drinks reception and then meal and toast options but everything else they can pay lol

I wouldn't mention it. I have never been to a wedding with a free bar, so would never assume there was one
- CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
why say anything ..... people will expect to buy drinks unless told other wise .

i dont understand why you would invite people to the day but then say " if you dont reply you can still come ......." they other reply and come or dont ! dont be giving people to many options.

No totally agree now, it was a silly thought to say that they can still come even without RSVP, wasn't thinking properly.
They'll be given an RSVP date, if they don't respond to it then they won't be coming, simple as.
Also won't mention about bar to evening guests. They most prob won't be expecting a free bar - if they have any questions they can always ask beforehand.

I've never been to a wedding with a free bar and really wouldn't expect one. If people are really curious about it they will ask.

Unless in your social circle a free bar is the norm and people will be coming expecting one, I wouldn't make any mention of it; free bars are unusual in the UK and I personally would always bring plenty of cash for drinks.

I also don't think you need to include a drinks plan with the invitations for the day guests, unless they need to choose (eg we included drink choices with our menu choices as for the wedding breakfast guests can choose 1/2 bottle of red or white wine, or 2 bottles of lager or cider, or a soft drink; other drinks are just a standard part of the package and they won't get a choice).
- CommentAuthorTanyaS78
I wouldnt say anything about the bar. We have got a bar at our wedding, but it wont be free. I havent been to a wedding with a free bar.
Also, personally, i would want people to RSVP to the wedding breakfast. Id want to know exactly who will be there.
- CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
Yeah I too think must people would assume they have to pay for their own drinks. We are providing the all day guests with some drinks but they will pay for their own in the evening.

As others have said, no RSVP to confirm they're coming then they don't come at all, no invites should say anything about drinks, guests should expect to pay for their own drinks, if drinks are included in the meal or during the welcome reception then bonus but they don't need to know about it in advance.
