Jesus, people. Sunny, it's your wedding. Do what you want. If you think that meat is murder, serve tofu. If your budget forces you to choose between including 300 people with a cash bar or 100 with an open bar, and you don't want to exclude your husband to be's second cousins from Ho-Ho-Kis, then go cash bar. The wedding is for you; it ain't for your friends who like beef, or who are planning to get smashed on the free Bushmills, or who are bored with your religious traditions.

No, sorry Bob. You have to be at least a little sensitive to your guests. If I had told all my vegetarian friend to bring their own damn food, we're having meat, that would have been a little insensitive.
And fyi for anyone who is thinking about it, if you're going to have a cash bar, you have a duty to tell people in advance. Seriously, no one brings cash to a wedding. At one wedding there were groups of us leaving the wedding in car loads making runs to the nearest cash machine. That's just wrong. And to find out that after you've made the cash run, that you're paying $8 glass for crappy wine and crappy well drinks, that's just insult to injury.
While we were all sitting around bitching about it an insider told me that the bride and groom decided that they could either afford less food and alcohol, or more elaborate spread and cash bar.
Still, I think you have to tell people to bring cash to your wedding if you are going to have a cash bar.
