For instance, if most people getting married in your social circles opt for an open bar but you decide on a cash bar, make sure your guests know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly. If your guests aren&#8217;t sure of the difference between what is an open bar or a cash bar, make sure you educate them so there would be no surprises.
