wedding reception?

I have a question about my wedding reception. The place we are having it will allow anyone to bring in their own alchol if they want to. We are providing kegs of beer, wine, and wine coolers, along with pop. If the guest want to bring something in they can. Could we put something in with the invatation stating this or not. And if so how woul you word this. Thank you I didn't mean to put it on the invatation i mean put it on a seperate piece of paper and mailing it along with the invatation also we have a bartender there and a security guard there at all times.

1. Gosh - you are providing beer-wine-wine coolers and soda pop. That should be sufficient. I think BYOB would be very tacky on the invitation or reception announcement. I think you got it covered. If someone wants a mixed drink - they can go to a bar after your reception! Might think about some bottled water for the event - some folks don't drink booze. If you feel you must put it in the reception notice. State it: Wine/Wine Coolers/Beer/Soft Drinks available at reception. Guests are welcome to bring the beverage of their choice if they prefer something else.
2. If you have a separate reception invitation included in the invitation all together, you can put " Alcohol will be served and may be brought". Most people don't like to pay for there drinks though.
3. don't put something in the invitation stating that.. how about you just spread it through word of mouth by telling some family and friends?? that's a much more tactful way of saying bring your own beer (byob)!! good luck & congrats!
4. So im guessing you dont plan on any of your family or friends kids on showing up??comeon every wedding needs kids involed.sounds like you hate them.and it sounds real idiotic for you to put something like "p.s bring your own alcohol/liquor"wedding invitations are suppose to be elegant and pretty not even close to saying alchol.geez might as well as ppl to bring enough weed for self use.
5. People who are THAT deterined to enjoy their favorite hard liquor generally keep a supply in handbag or pocket anyways. Those who are NOT so devoted to liquor will be perfectly content with beer, wine, and soft drinks. So why mention it?
6. Does the reception hall also have a separate bar available for the general public at the same time? If so, people who want something different will just take it upon themselves to head over to the bar, without anything being mentioned in the invitation. As for me, I'd probably just drink pop because I don't like beer or wine.
7. No, you don't do this at all. You are hosting, so you provide the alcohol.
8. That would be very tacky indeed. You'd be encouraging them to get drunk and you'd need a lot more than one security guard to control the situation.
9. I don't think it should be on the invitation or anything. If you want to tell them, then once you get your RSVPs, I think you should take the time (yes, I know, it's precious time when you're getting married/planning the wedding so perhaps a bridesmaid could do it) to contact those who have RSVP'd that they are attending to tell them about it. That aside, IMHO, I don't think you should tell anyone about it. The drinks you are serving are sufficient for a wedding (who would be drinking hard liquor at a wedding anyhow?). There may be issues of liability too.
10. Please don't put this in with your invitations - even on a separate sheet of paper. You are already providing sufficient liquor. By definition, the liquor provided by the hosts is sufficient unless there isn't enough for every adult who wishes one to get a drink. You have clearly covered that and more, so I think you're perfectly fine without adding more. If you wish to encourage people to bring liquor to your wedding reception, though, I suppose one could handle it much the way registries are properly handled: by word of mouth. Trust me, once one or two people on your guest list know, the rest will quickly get the word.
11. I would do it word of mouth if need be but don't put it in the invitation or anywhere in the invitation envelope. Some people as I stated before in another question only come to eat and drink. That's all I have been asked are you going to have alcohol and no I'm not going to have alcohol because I will have champagne, coolers, soda, juice and water because people get pissy drunk and start acting like fools and I don't need no one messing up my day.
12. Allowing anyone to bring in their own alcohol usually means that the bride and groom can provide their own - for the reception. This is a great option because purchasing it on your own is much less expensive than purchasing through a caterer. While this is true, asking your guests to bring their own or telling them it is okay for them to bring what they want is a little out in left field. You should provide what you want and make concessions for your parents and your fiance's parents. Other than that, your guests will be fine with what you provide. Telling them it is okay to bring something they want makes it seem like you won't have enough.
13. My aunt did this, and it was fine! (putting a note seperately in the invite) I think you should to let everyone know... if they have a problem with it, oh well, it's your wedding :) My aunt basically said BYOB- because she meant beer too- say you will include pop, beer kegs, wine, but if they prefer liquor, then feel free to bring it along.
