I want to start making my wedding invites but not sure how to word this:
We are having a cash bar for the wedding since we can’t simply afford to pay for everyones drinks. BUT we are having an unlimited amount of wine supplied for free. Should I put on the invites cash bar or should I leave it off since we are serving unlimited wine for no cost?
Hold on a second, you are right, such wording is needed.
Your wedding invitation is one thing, "Mr. and Mrs. request the honour of your presence…reception to follow ceremony"…and then:
There’s the enclosures with the RSVP, that includes: the guest having a space to indicate number of guests, a space to indicate "Meal preference: "Chicken" or "Prime Rib" (or check it off). Having a buffet or set meal? Then notate this. At any rate: That enclosure is where you would denote "complimentary wine and cash bar" exactly worded like that.
Oh and a self-addressed stamped envelope for the guest to RSVP, of course! That’s all, honey! Congratulations!!!

The alcohol situation isn’t something people ever really put on the invite. That shouldn’t matter. They should still want to come to your wedding no matter what. If they don’t want to pay for their drinks, then they don’t have to get anything to drink then!

No need to include such details. The guests should be coming to celebrate with you, not for booze. Not every wedding has an open bar. Its generous enough of you to supply the wine.

Ooo.. Tricky question…
I would probably leave it off the invitations and just spread the word by mouth…
Email people, or tell family to spread the word. Most people will then find out.
Not everyone is a wine drinker, and if they want something else, they need to know to bring some money to pay for it.

You can add that "food and wine will be provided" (and soda if you are serving that)

you don’t mention anything about the menu or the bar on the invitation, that’s kinda tacky. let people figure it out when they arrive at the reception. if you have a meal choice and you need people to check it off on the response card, go ahead.

Don’t put it on the invitations. It is tacky. And you’re supplying wine, which nice enough. I don’t see any reason to add ‘cash bar’ to your invitation.
Your invitation will always be a keepsake. You don’t want to be reminded the rest of your life about this cash bar issue.
