  • I had a non-alcoholic bar and it wasn't boring. Some did get alcohol but not as much.

    I didnt mean it literally (hence the smileys)

    my and OH would love to do a free bar, if we can afford it closer to the time we will, might even do one token each in the favor box - then asking the venue to give us the tab at the end of the night, and just hope that it would come to around £350! I think thats an nice idea then you can drink what you want. I think i might have amooch on ebay for ticket things like old cinema tickets!

    People tend to take the favour home and then open them so putting a drink token in there may not be a good idea.

    Just thought I'd mention it although I personally didn't have favours.

    Don't forget cash vs gift lists vs no-gifts. There are plenty of differing opinions on that!

    Sorry to quote myself - but it seems this very issue has been raised again, and is the most active thread we have seen in ages!
