    Hi Bee's,

        Getting married in a couple days in a very small mountain town that doesn't have any sort of Taxi or Shuttle service. About 50% of the guests are staying onsite in cabins and the rest are about a 5 minute drive from Town where they are staying. We are hosting beer and wine and mixed drinks are available for purchase. Not many guests are big drinkers or irresponsible but should I still have a sign at the bar about drinking responsibly and making sure they have a way to get home or back to their hotel safely? Or is it just assumed since we are all adults?  If so, how should I word it? Thanks!

    Is it possible have a company come out for the night, or see if the hotel can provide a shuttle? I would that if this doesn't happen, you need to have people guarentee they will be DD's and NOT drink (more than just a toast) for the night.

    I dont think you need to worry too much about it. This past Oct, I went to a wedding in a small town in VT. My friends and I stayed about 2 miles away from venue. Everyone was freaking out about driving but we had one person who had one glass of wine at reeption and one glass at dinner.  It sounds like your crowd is responsible and will drink responsibly.  Plus, you have the bartenders who will cut them off if they get rowdy.

    This isn't really something you should worry about. Everyone's a grown up and can be responsible by either limiting their intake, abstaining, or  agreeing on a DD. You definitely don't need a sign. If there's an individual you're specifically concerned about, make sure they have a ride.

    @khf777:  Love this! I'm a big APW fan!

    ETA, my venue was in the mountains, we served beer and wine and we had no issues with anyone being irresponsible. Everyone drove in and knew what type of road they'd have to drive back out of.

    They are grownups, you don't need to worry about it. if you really cant trust them, have a dry wedding.

    If they are driving themselves to the wedding, then it's their responsibility to make sure they have a ride home. You're getting married in a couple days - don't let this be on your mind, there's no need to worry about this :)
