A conversation I had with my friend Jenny, a real-life bartender, about serving beer and soda at our wedding.
Me: Should bartenders pour bottles into glasses or is it okay to just hand people the bottles?
Jenny: Just give people the bottles. You weren’t under the impression your friends were classy people were you?
Me: We want semi-classy!
Jenny: With the right set up, even grabbing drinks from a cooler can be classy. It could be really cute if you had huge tins filled with ice, flowers and bottles of beverages.
Me: Yeah, maybe. But there is a thin line between charming and ghetto.
Jenny: Charming is just ghetto dressed up to go out.
Me: Hahaha, there is a blog post in here somewhere I’m sure.

so, so true. before we decided to do the destination thing, we were going to do a back yard wedding with a keg and bottles in hammered tin buckets. :)

So keg stands are still charming as long as we hold the girls’ dresses up as they do them? Gotcha.

Is the G Word “Greece”? Because that’s where we are going for Matt’s bachelor party. This way he won’t even need a Honeymoon after. OPA!!!

i totally agree that bars can be dressed up and getting beers from a cooler can be classyish. but i do agree, a fine fine line between charming and ghetto.
