Wedding Receptions with no alcohol

Just got invited to a wedding and get this.
No Kids (so I have to find a babysitter for the night)
No Booze or Beer at the reception!
The only kicker is its casual dress (shorts are allowed). So I guess that is okay.

This. I had my wedding a place that didn't have an alcohol license so we could bring our own in. The hall said they weren't liable for anything. We ended up getting a one day policy. Luckily nothing happened.
What is a Wedding Reception?
1. A convenient place for relatives and friends to bring
their costly wedding gifts for the bride and groom.
2. An opportunity to eat at a free buffet with drinks as
a way of saying thank you for those expensive wedding
gifts.

All of the weddings I attend these days are in Louisa County, so, no shortage of booze there. Or, in Jasper County, Indiana. Those are held at the Catholic church where everyone is just itching to get out to the fairgrounds for the reception. They have a rule that a cop/deputy has to be there. He always has to stand within eyeshot of the alcohol. He doesn't mingle around the building. He just stands or sits next to the booze all night. It's kind of funny in the respect it's such a small town thing. The guy is always someone local that a bunch of the revelers have known since grade school, and probably got drunk with in high school.
I really don't understand this. I would be sendng the RSVP back - Not Attending. I don't like weddings the way it is. Tell me I have to find a sitter and there will be no booze and I won't be there.
I got a kick out of that little play on words.
I enjoyed a two part wedding reception. No booze for the first two hours. People left in disgust. Opened up some kegs after 6 pm. People left in disgust.
As to anything being sacred? These days for every sacred thing there seems to be two people prepared to pi$$ on it.
As a Wedding DJ I have to say I've actually had some parties where there was an open bar all night and nobody seemed to want to do anything but drink. Yet, I've had alcohol free events where people just wanted to hang out and dance so they actually made me feel like I was earning my fee.
I recently did an alcohol free reception, held on a Thursday evening, and they were big fans of Christian music. I didn't know how it would go over, but the guests were all actually really into the evening so again, goes to show that one shouldn't just pass on them if there's no alcohol. Mind you, I'd prefer to have some drinks at receptions I attend but some don't, to each their own.
Bottom line, if you actually care about the bride and/or groom you will attend and enjoy the evening regardless of if there's actually alcohol or not.

To attend both the wedding and the reception is a way
of affirming that the bride and groom are now really
married. Their single days are over and bachelorhood
is now in the past.
Your attendance at both events signifies your stamp of
approval on the commitment that the Bride and Groom
have made. You are happy for them in their choice of
life time partners as husband and wife.

I went to a reception about 5 years ago and it was an "open bar" reception. Needless to say all the groomsmen were HAMMERED and actually 3 of them got kicked out by the reception hall cop. They were out of control and one was the grooms brother. I realize its an open bar, but they were doing shot after shot after shot and getting really messed up. Im sorry but as a bar tender you need to know when to cut someone off.
The groom tried talking the cop out of it, but then his brother pissed in the corner and their Dad drug him out of the hall and took him to his room. It was nice the reception was at the hotel, that way no one had to drive. Could not of imaged that night on the road if people would of had to drive.
I think having booze available is nice because not all people are sober. Some people need some liquid courage to talk to other people. Im not one of them, but I know people who only socialize when their drunk.

The wedding reception gives the opportunity for all the
single gals to catch the bride's chastity belt as she tosses it
out into the crowd. Sorry, I meant the bride's garter.

bachelors to steal the groom's little black book of
addresses for available women that he had been dating.
