A bride has been criticized for “controlling” when guests can drink at her wedding . In a recent post shared to the popular “Am I The A**hole?” Reddit forum , a woman explained why she ultimately decided not to have an open bar at her wedding. “I come from an alcoholic heavy family and simply don’t feel comfortable being around people who are drinking heavily,” she wrote.
“Instead, my fiancé and I have decided to have a drink ticket like service.” She went on to detail why she was happy about having the drink tickets, which she said the wedding venue suggested. “With that service we’ve been able to customize how we want alcoholic beverages to be handled at our reception,” she continued.
The bride explained that when she sent out the invitations, she included guests’ drink tickets, since she didn’t want them to be “shocked” about the drinking rules when they got to the wedding. She then explained how many alcoholic beverages each guest could have when using the tickets, before sharing some other drinking rules she had for the wedding. “The drink service bit of the card said, essentially, that alcoholic drinks were limited to two per of age guest,” the bride wrote.
“The ‘tickets’ are non-transferable, and like the other beverages offered, [drinks] would need to be ordered from your seat at your assigned table. Drinks were also to be enjoyed at your assigned table.” According to the bride, her family and her partner’s family are no.
