However, this doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t have a fun alternative. Open bars are expensive and they can easily put your budget over the top. Instead of going for one of these lavish affairs, try out one of these options that are budget friendly. With the dangers that alcohol places on drivers, you will also be keeping your guests safe as well.<\/p>\n<h1>Juice Bar<\/h1>\n<p>Another fun option is a juice bar. With this, you can offer different types of juices and flavors for your guests to choose from. Offering a sparkling water option to mix with the juices can also be a fun way for <a title=\"Wedding Guest Etiquette: Do\u2019s and Dont\u2019s\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/17\/wedding-guest-etiquette-dos-donts\/\">guests<\/a> to enjoy the bar. You can also offer water, coffee, milk and soda as well so that everyone will have something that they enjoy drinking.<\/p>\n<h1>Coffee Bar<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4994\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/24-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/24-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/24-416x277.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/24.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coffee is one thing that many people have in common. Instead of serving alcohol, try this option instead. You can offer different types of coffee along with special flavors and things that people can add to their coffee, like special creamers. Don\u2019t forget about the <a title=\"Child-Friendly Wedding Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/24\/child-friendly-wedding-tips\/\">kids that will be attending<\/a> as well and add a hot chocolate option for them to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h1>Punch<\/h1>\n<p>Punch has long been a staple for parties and other events. You can easily make a punch that matches the colors of your wedding and display it in a pretty punch bowl. Don\u2019t worry about buying a punch bowl that is large enough for all your guests, because you will be able to rent one from a part supply store. Just make sure that you have plenty to restock he punch bowl as it becomes empty.<\/p>\n<h1>Alcohol Options<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/33.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4995\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/33-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/33-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/33-416x625.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/33.jpg 426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For those who are still wanting to offer alcoholic beverages at their wedding, but do not want the expense of an open bar, there are many things that you can do. For example, you can only offer champagne when it comes time for the toasts. Another great idea is to only have the bar open during certain times of the reception.<\/p>\n<p>You can also have a limit that your guests can consume from the bar. For example, you can give <a title=\"How To Create The Perfect Guest List For Your Wedding\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/29\/how-to-create-the-perfect-guest-list-for-your-wedding\/\">guests<\/a> tickets that they can turn in for drinks or only allow alcohol to be served until a certain price is reached. Another option is to have signature drinks to choose from and if your guests want something different, they must pay for it themselves.<\/p>\n<h1>Conclusion<\/h1>\n<p>There are many options that couples can use to replace an open bar at a wedding. While many couples choose to have an open bar at their weddings, they are definitely not a requirement and you should never feel obligated to offer one to your guests. Instead, you should choose an option that fits with your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/28\/5-tips-planning-wedding-budget\/\">budget<\/a> and wedding style.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out all the great options that are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\">Best for Bride<\/a>.
