So my mom and I came up with a compromise (after all, she and my dad are insisting on paying for a lot of the wedding as I'm their only daughter). We're thinking of having a 2-drink limit (and yes liquor is included) for each guest, after which they pay for their own if they want more. We'd have to use tickets to do it this way though. I figure most people will wind up with more than 2 tickets anyway, since our estimate is based on EVERY guest drinking, and not all will (especially those under-age ). I hope that doesn't sound too tacky, but like I said... it's not about affording it, it's about keeping things relatively calm.

That's actually a really good idea (even if it is tacky). I've been to so many weddings where there's a free bar and the guests are completely plastered halfway through the reception. I'm having a small, private wedding so I know who's gonna be prone to drinking a lot and I can keep an eye on them
