bring your own alcohol??...

Personally I don't think its tacky - but u know your guests. I know all my friends and family wouldn't bat an eye lid- we often have party's/special occasions were we all bring a bottle (or 2!)

I've been to a BYOB wedding and it was AMAZING! Everyone put their booze in the 'bar room' and there was enough to sink a ship but it was tremendous and I would do it in the blink of an eye!

I don't think it's the norm for weddings but I don't really see it being an issue as generally if I went to any other form of celebration at a house whether it be birthday party, house warming, bbq etc I would generally bring my own booze... but I suppose it depends on who you are inviting to share the celebrations with you. Are there any shops etc near so if you run out of anything someone (who has not been drinking) can go and do a booze run to get more? or if people forget to bring any?

if it were carefully worded in the invite info I don't think it would be 'tacky'

Nothing wrong with that in my opinion- but then im a kinda gal that sneakily has a bottle of vodka in me handbag to save on the extortionate bar prices ?? a girl i work with, her aunt is going to a wedding where u even take your own chair to the ceremony and then bring your own booze and boogie the night away

You haven't really said what style of day you are having? if you are having everyone there for the 3 days and it is more of an informal weekend away then i would say go for it...

Personally i would prefer to bring my own booze than pay silly wedding venue prices it's just thinking of a way to word it and organise it...if you are having a sit down meal i would provide some drinks for that and maybe some welcome/toast drinks etc but then i would let guests have theirs for the rest of the evening....

the only way i can see it being awkward is that if it's BYOB what will everyone do with it? will they keep it with them or will they put it all together?? i dont know your numbers but say its over 50 people....with that many people, personally i drink vodka, i wouldn't be happy to bring a bottle of vodka and just put it in with all the rest of the booze if it meant that it would be gone within half an hour because people have helped themselves meaning i then had nothing to drink other than other peoples (that could be something i don't like) if that makes sense?

i think you need to think about how that will work.... if it is all mixed together then some may bring bottles of spirits (£15-£20?) and others may bring a bottle of cheap wine (£3-£5?) as a guest i would prefer to drink what was mine if i was bringing my own but for the look of the wedding i think having guests carrying their booze around with them would look very odd haha so id just try and think of a better way of doing this!
