i think it's definitely okay to do. no one should drink that much at an after party anyway, you know? it should definitely be about vegging out, you know.
We're having a after-party at the hotel bar (which FI and I will be attending) that's going to be cash bar. Already people are going to be drinking all night and if they all decided to go out to a bar after the wedding, they'd be paying for their own drinks anyway.
The only question I have in your situation, is how would people get drinks there? By room, do you mean hotel room? Would people have to stop on the way and pick up drinks to bring? My only concern for that would be that liquor stores may be closed at that time.
Our after party was cash bar...after hosting an open bar for 6 hours I did not feel the least bit guilty about this!
An after party is just that, an "after" party. Meaning that you (and your family) no longer have any real obligation as hosts. You've thrown one party, no need to throw another. ;)
The pizza sounds fantastic and should be more than enough.
whew. that's good news:)
@ hotchild in the city: the room at the hotel is considered a hospitality room and they are providing a bartender and such. my mom did pay a rental fee to the hotel for the room itself.
I think it's just fine. The wedding will be over, and by that point people should be trying to just chill, so if they want to drink they have to pay for it.
@gamblina: That sounds fine then. Sounds like basically what I'm doing, except it's like the hotel bar/lounge.
I think this is totally fine. I would just put on the wedding itinerary that there's complimentary pizza and a cash bar so that people know to bring cash. As someone who never has cash on them, I'd appreciate being prepared if I wanted to grab a cocktail at the afterparty.
I think it's totally fine - in fact, I'd just appreciate the fact that your mom was thoughtful enough to pay for pizzas!

Sorry didn't mean to spam you guys. Didn't realize I'd already hit submit once.
I think it's awesome that there will be food provided, and I wouldn't worry about the cash bar.
I think its absolutely fine. We are hosting an after party and providing a limited bar because we aren't having alcohol at our reception, but since you will already have provided an open bar, I think it is more than appropriate for them to cover their own drinks.

here's an etiquette question for ya...
we are hosting a 3-4 hr full bar at our reception. my mother has reserved a nice room at our hotel for an "after-party". she plans on ordering pizzas as a late snack for everyone, but she can't afford to pay for everyones drinks as well. at first i thought this was no big deal since we are hosting a full bar at the actual reception...but now i'm second guessing it. sidenote: my fh and i will not be attending.
what is the verdict of the hive?
