i think it's tacky to call another bride tacky and a "cheap ass", but you know, that's just my opinion. this question has come up on a lot of other boards. in some parts of the country (LA and NY), an open bar is expected. guests would definitely be insulted to have to pay for their own drinks, in addition to paying for the outfit (dress/tux/suit) for the wedding and the gift for the bride and groom. Most guests would be caught off caught, since they dont bring cash with them when attending an event (it's not even approriate to have guests tip for coat check and valet---it's assumed that the bride and groom would've arranged for payment and tips to them separately). however, in other parts of the country, they only have cash bars and would feel like the couple is overextravagent and ridiculous to have a cash bar. it's up to the couple on what they would like to do and if not too many guests drink and the couple wishes to do a cash bar, then it's fine in my opinion.
