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!

At our wedding, there was an hour-and-a-half open bar cocktail hour before dinner. Just before dinner was served, I think they announced that the alcoholic beverages would not be available after dinner, and that guests might want to take advantage of that fact now. Wine was served with dinner (1 bottle each white and rose per table), followed by a champagne toast.
The people who wanted drinks got them free before dinner, but couldn't load up for hours after dinner. We also had a small gathering with 125 people-- a few were pissed, but there'll be a few pissed people no matter what you do.
(They were more pissed that we *didn't* kiss to the clinking glasses, but kissed almost any other time! Someone actually came up to me and said that it was upsetting people that we weren't kissing. I said, "I'm sorry, but I kiss my husband when the spirit moves me to; we don't kiss on command." That shut her up!)
