As wedding season approaches, many Gen Z couples are choosing to forgo traditional open bars in favor of cash bars or completely dry weddings. This shift is characterized by a cultural critique of guests who complain about the lack of free alcohol, with some calling such complaints tacky and entitled. Emphasizing transparency about wedding expectations, many advocates argue that outlining whether a wedding will have a bar option should be commonplace on wedding websites, just as dietary preferences are considered. This perspective signals a larger generational shift regarding wedding norms.
As wedding season heats up, younger couples are throwing tradition out the window - and tossing open bars out with it. Dry weddings and cash bars are now all the rage among Gen Z brides and grooms.
For Gen Z, the key is transparency. 'I just want to know what I'm walking into in advance,' wrote Wes Ambrecht, aka @iamwesley.
I assumed making guests PAY for refreshment at a wedding reception was tacky, when you're already making them pay for travel, lodging, and outfit, etc.
Complaining that you didn't get free booze after receiving a formal meal and party where you are a GUEST with live music and entertainment is what's tacky, actually.
