yes, i am familiar with that MO, i guess. we will not send out the save the date cards to the ones they don’t care that much about coming. like his hockey teammates, which xsteen would prefer not show.
my peers and i are in the wedding throwing period of life now. a good friend’s daughter is getting married next weekend, xsboy’s childhood friend got married in Sept, and his mom is a good friend also. major concern is not having a drunkfest going on. we hope to mitigate that with a 10 am ceremony and noon to 4 reception. xsteen has gone on record as saying at her wedding she will personally toss anyone who goes overboard. she is wishing we were Baptist like her cousins and that we could dispense with alcohol altogether. we haven’t gotten to the point of needing to discuss whether to close the bar during dinner or not yet. xshub is a veteran of hosting events for his organization and he knows everything you need to know about stuff like that, so we will defer to his judgement.
Sure, you close the bar during dinner.
We had 5 hours of open bar at our wedding. Without closing for dinner, we would have been over by 9. Closing for dinner gets you to ten.
See u invite them BUT u make it difficult for them to drink /sarc
