Has anyone else had, or been to a wedding with an honesty bar? Does an honesty bar work or do people just end up taking advantage?
We got some quotes for someone to come in and provide a bar for us, but at a cost of £300 plus to turn up, plus staffing, plus charging our guests £4 a pint we decided to sort it out ourselves.
We are going to buy all the drink ourselves, have a friend of a friend man the bar and the ask for 'honest' donations from our guests.
I am thinking of putting a little sign up on the bar with suggested donations, something along the lines of - '£5-£10 if you are only having a couple or are the designated driver, £10-£15 if you are taking advantage of being able to have more than a couple!, £15+ if you are planning on joining the groom in getting more than a little merry!'
Our thinking is that it will be cheap drinks for our guests, and hopefully won't end up costing us too much if anything. Hopefully for the amount of people that underpay there will be some over payers!
