There's gotta be a way to be a good host and be budget conscious, too.

I agree 100%. Hmmm....

Oh noooooo, I must scour that thread. Thanks...I guess I'll find it.

I've also seen couples have an open bar with the couples' signature cocktail and like 3 other drinks.

There's nothing worse than going to a wedding, ordering a drink, handing the bartender a tip and having him say "that'll be $7.00" because the bar is cash and you had no idea. Ewww.

That does suck to think it's an open bar (you leave a tip) but find out it's a cash bar.

I went to a gala years ago where it was a limited cash bar like you mentioned. It was great because it isn't hard to know what drinks are most popular for an age group. If people want their fancy and rare drinks then they can get it on their own time.
