Do I need to pay for all the alcohol at my husbands party that I am hosting?

I am having a party for my husband at a restaurant? There will be 60 people. I am not sure how to handle the drinks? I want to pay for it but very afraid that 4 hours of drinks will be very expensive. What is the propper way of handling this? Our invite said coctail party? Do we need to provide all the booze?

If you haven't specified otherwise, I think people will expect you to pay for it all. What I've seen done in this case that works well is for the invitation to include some number of drink tickets redeemable at the bar (which the person hosting the party pays for). After that, it's up to the individual guests to buy their own.
Reply:Yes, you need to pay, you are the host. Ask if you can stock the bar yourself this is what I did for my wedding. I bought a variety of wine (one red, one white) whiskey, rum, vodka and beer.Don't forget the mixers. If they want anything other than what is being offered they can buy it themselves.
Reply:well, it is your party, but you can ask them to chip in
Reply:if i was going i would bring something but dont expect it.
Reply:You bet! You made the plans, you pay.
Reply:Yes, if you are the host, you must pay. But you can have just have a toast for your husband -- 1 drink each. After that, it's up to the guests to pay.
Reply:First and correct answer: Yes.





However, to minimize the liquor bill, have the restaurant set up each of the tables with carafes of red and white wines, and plenty of clean stemware. Then keep the wine coming. It is far less expensive, and more convenient for your guests, to provide wine for your guests at their fingertips rather than endless cocktails
Reply:Talk to the bar manager, explain that you want pricing for a well drink bar for 60 people for 4 hours. They should be able to quote you a price. In this instance they set up a separate bar just for your party and charge you by the bottle, not the drink. You are also responsible for the server and gratuity. The big thing is to use well booze, not top shelf.
Reply:if the invite said cocktail party I would expect it to be open bar. You can limit it to some many bottles, or say 2 or the 4 hours.
Reply:Sorry, but yes i do. Or how about giving each couple a pair of drink tickets,that should explain if they want more they need to buy them !!!
