    The last thing you want to have happen at your wedding reception is for guests to drink too much, and either create a scene or cause a traffic accident as they’re leaving.
    Good hosts plan ahead to minimize the negative consequences of too much alcohol. Some ideas to consider:
  • Use a professional bartender to control the strength and number of drinks served, and if necessary cut off anyone who’s had too much.
  • Arranging guest accommodations in the same hotel or within walking distance of the reception minimizes the opportunities for intoxicated driving.
  • A shuttle bus or limousine service, or an advance arrangement with a taxi company, can guarantee guests a safe ride home or back to their hotel.
  • Serving plenty of non-alcoholic beverages, and closing the bar before the entertainment ends, will encourage your guests to enjoy themselves in moderation.
