TIPS FROM THE TEAM :
Remember that bridal magazines are a guideline for inquiring brides, not a sacred scripture. Many columns will give you tips on every loophole and corner to cut when trying to save a few extra pennies, but there are a few things they don't tell you that you would do well to consider.
RULE #253
LESS IS NOT ALWAYS MORE
CONSIDER THIS :: LESS IS NOT ALWAYS MORE : when trying to decide what kind of bar package to choose, overshooting is okay. No, not everyone will be drinking alcohol at your event but why worry about running out? Don't you have enough to fret over? There's no faster way to bring a raging party to a screeching halt than to run out of bar supplies, and no bride wants to hear "sorry we're all out, you only ordered drinks for half of your guests" at 9:00pm... So while trying to save a few bucks by low-balling the estimate of drinkers, consider your priorities. Perhaps you'd rather shoot low for your Hors D'eouvres considering that everyone will be mingling, bubbly, and waiting to congratulate you.
