We are having an outdoor wedding and the reception is indoor at the same Hall. My wedding dress is the traditional style. However, the guys are wearing denim and black with black hats and boots, etc..you get the idea. Since this is my second wedding we are hoping to have more fun than formality. We are having a DJ and dance at the reception. The problem is that the Hall is legally required to have any alcohol that is brought in to be given to the bartender and then served by him. Due to a limited budget, we are only providing a couple kegs. Is it wrong to include a note of some sort in the envelope saying something like "Limited alcohol provided. You may BYOB or liquor with your name on it. However, due to TABC regulations, all alcohol must be given to the bartender upon arrival." ? Any other suggestions are certainly welcome. Thank you.

Even for informal weddings we never ask the guests to bring any part of the party. So, you should either supply the alcohol you can afford or do not offer alcoholic beverages. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
I completely agree. Perhaps you could pare your list down in order to provide more. Or, you could schedule this at a time when alcohol is not expected. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
