Cash bar at Rehearsal Dinner
Question- my FILs are paying for our rehearsal dinner, but they have decided they won't provide alcohol for the guests. I know that many if not all of our guests will assume alcohol is included and order drinks, so I feel we must tell them ahead of time that they will need to buy their own drinks (FILs will pay for non alcoholic drinks).
Everything I've read says that putting anything about a cash bar on the rehearsal dinner invites is a no no, but I don't know what else to do. I don't feel comfortable calling/emailing the guests and telling them it is a cash bar as I am not hosting it, and don't think FMIL will be either so I really kinda feel including it on the invite is the only option.
What is the best way/ most tactful way to word the invites indicating it will be a cash bar?
Also in case anyone suggests this FH and I cannot afford to pay the drink tab. TIA!
