Having a cash bar is NOT tacky. Don't worry about it. Anyone who's complaining about pitching in a few bucks to drink (by their choice) - when you've put so much into paying for a hall for them to enjoy, and music for them to dance to, and food for them to eat - is RUDE. I'm sorry, no offence to those who might say that a cash bar is "tacky" or "offensive", but not every bride and groom can afford to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for your drinking pleasure. People don't realize how offensive they are being when they throw that word around.
Sorry to rant, but girl, don't feel guilty for asking your guests to pay a few bucks for a drink, when you've put so much time and money into your entire wedding day, and invited these people to enjoy it with you.
I hear you--with a little under 2 months left, I've hit the wall too, but after a couple days off from wedding-ness, I'm realizing that it's just that I can't keep up eating, sleeping, and living wedding. I'm going to start just doing a few days per week where I do wedding stuff, and otherwise not thinking about it at all... maybe this will help you! Good luck!

With only two more months and one week to go until the big day, I'm finally hitting my wall. I LOVE... let me say it again.... LOVE the wedding planning process but I can finally see why in the home stretch things start to get difficult. Even the smallest things become hard to deal with.
The past month I've spent a ton of time worrying about the BM's dresses and the hassles with David's Bridal, but this month (only 4 days in) has started with worrying about cake toppers, favors, seating cards and having made what I heard today was a "tacky" decision to have a cash bar. Seriously? I had never thought about it that way until today.
When it came to alcohol at my wedding I wasn't going to have a bar in the first place. My FI isn't a big drinker and neither am I, so it only seemed right to not have a bar at all. Then we started to rethink. What about our friends and family members that do enjoy alcohol? We are of course on a budget and so instead of fully stocking a bar and not knowing if our friends and relatives would actually drink any of it, we made our decision to go with a cash bar. Is this wrong? I didn't know that this was tacky or such a huge concern until today.
What do you think??? What are some of the things that you are encountering the closer you get to your special day?
