We had the same issue, and we decided to not mention it at all. Truthfully, I was afraid that the alcoholics in the group would use the advance notice to just bring their flasks!!! And I'm of the opinion that alcohol should not be expected at a wedding. I invite people over to my house all the time and don't have any alcohol to give them. As a hostess it's my responsability to offer them something nice to drink, but it doesn't have to be alcoholic. So therefore, I don't think it's necessary to mention anything on the invite. Good luck!!!
no need to mention! a good guest shouldn't ever complain about what's being served. :) at least out loud, hehe. everyone will be there for the love of you both, so dont worry about the restrictions. you'll have to make it up with good food and dessert then! :)
Our venue required a liquor license as well as alcohol insurance, so we opted to not have it. (Also due to some crazy alcoholics in the family...)
Anyways, we are making up the invitations. Should this be something we note on there? If so, what is a nice way to word it?

I can't say I've ever heard of a wedding invitation saying either way. I'd say leave it off; but if people inquire be honest.
