She’s Treating Her Wedding Guests Like Children By Saying They Can Only Drink Two Drinks While Sitting In Their Assigned Seats

This woman is getting married soon, and what she chose to put in her wedding invitations is earning her some major backlash from her friends and family.
She didn’t tell anyone on her guest list that the invites would contain a surprise: they’re not having an open bar and mailed out two drink tickets to everyone instead.
The reason why she doesn’t want an open bar is because a lot of her family members drink a lot, and it makes her uneasy.
So the solution that she and her fiancé have come up with is a drink ticket style service so she can control how much alcohol her guests are consuming at her reception.
Actually, the ticket system applies to non-alcoholic beverages as well, so her guests will only be permitted to have two drinks at her wedding.
Her wedding venue maintains that people do this frequently for weddings, and they had actually suggested it to her.
“With the invitations was a card with the expectations one is to expect from the ceremony and the reception,” she explained.
“I didn’t want to shock people when they arrived, so I figured the cards would be a nice, classy heads up for our guests.”
“The drink service bit of the card said, essentially, that alcoholic drinks were limited to two per of age guest, the “tickets” are non-transferable, and like the other beverages offered, would need to be ordered from your seat at your assigned table. Drinks were also to be enjoyed at your assigned table.”

There also will not be a bartender at her wedding; the drinks will be made in a kitchen and brought out by the servers.
She can admit that it was unfair of her to make all of her guests stick to two drinks only and make them drink only at their seats, but she was hoping to minimize mess and damage to the venue by insisting on this.
Unfortunately, she has greatly upset her loved ones and her fiancé’s family as well, with people calling her many rude names, like a bridezilla.
One of her uncles also specifically called her a jerk for ruining the fun of the wedding reception already.
Everyone has had an overwhelmingly negative response to her drink ticket system, so she’s second-guessing it.
“I don’t want them to jump through hoops ’cause I’m the bride; I wanted to keep people from ordering their drinks and then gifting them to someone who already drank their two,” she continued.
“I can see that it was unfair of me to assume and treat my family and friends like children in this regard. I’m going to discuss with my fiancé about changing it to “We ask that you consume food and beverage while seated.”
“This way, guests aren’t forced to sit and mingle only with their table but also keep accidental spills to a minimum, which was a second part to that specification.”
She’s left wondering if this was mean of her to do to her guests and if she should have opted for an open bar instead.
