Alcohol is a common topic we see on the weddingbee boards,  so today’s wiki of the day is on the bar!

Mr. Bee and I were lucky because our venue allowed us to bring in our own alcohol, and the liquor store where we purchased our alcohol accepted returns of any unopened bottles.  A friend of Mr. Bee’s also gave us a case of premium African rum, which we used in our two signature cocktails.  Though we had a full open bar, most guests drank the signature cocktails all night long, so we were able to reduce our alcohol costs significantly.  The liquor store even picked up our unopened bottles from the venue after the wedding, and by the time we returned from our honeymoon, we had a $900 deposit already waiting for us in our account!  That was most definitely a very pleasant surprise.
