I agree with the cash bar idea. Inevitably though, there are people that are going to get drunk and act a little crazy. You get them at every wedding. For some reason I think some people think weddings are an excuse to get crazy which all too often can be really inappropriate but that is probably a whole other thread! I would try to sit down with both sets of parents when the time comes and discuss your concerns and thoughts and try to include them in your wedding planning. Maybe you can even have some pre-wedding gatherings where there is alcohol served in moderation so they get used to each others lifestyles. Who is paying for the festivities? Does this influence your decision? Ultimately it is "your" day so I think you should go ahead and do whatever your idea for YOUR wedding is. You are never going to be able to please everyone and you shouldn't try. As an aside, I remember my parents telling me that after they got married and starting building their house, they almost got a divorce because they tried to please both sets of parents with everything THEY wanted built in the house. Finally they had to take a stand and just do what THEY wanted and things worked out great. Good luck!
