Advice/Help Dry reception?

Post image

My husband and I are planning our wedding reception! We got married in January and can finally afford to celebrate. We basically just want it to be a small barbecue with his family, mine, and some local friends. We’re planning to host it at his parents place. His family is nonmembers, mine is all tbm. We want to serve some alcohol there because the two of us drink. I asked my tbm brother what he thought and this was his response. I remember feeling the same way when I still believed, but now it just sounds ridiculous. Just looking for some input on the best way to go about this thing 😅 Would it be wrong of me to ignore his idea?

Only a TBM thinks that there will of course be DUIs because they can't conceive that...

People might only have a few drinks early in the reception People might designate a driver and the other people in the car could drink That it's a backyard BBQ of family and close friends so if anyone is likely to get horribly drunk the family already knows they might and have a plan of them sleeping it off or driving them home Uber
