I probably shouldnt ask this but..... we are having a baptism for our son in a few weeks and at the reception after the ceremony we are going to serve beer and wine...well my best friend says that is a dumb tradition and there should not be any alcohol served at religious events but yet at our friends wedding she got sloppy drunk and that was a religious event so what is the diff... she is baptist and I am catholic btw so we have different views on religion but is it just me or is she being a huge hypocrit |
I say it is your event so you do what you want... Now it it were me because it is a Child's event and not adult I would not serve Alcohol but that is just me.. A wedding is more for adults. But you have to do what you and your hubby want.. btw I am Baptist also..;) |
I agree that a wedding that takes place in a church is most definitely religious as well... It's your son's baptism! Even though there will be wine, I highly doubt that anyone will be getting sloppy drunk at a baptism reception...People just don't do that!! :) I really don't think you have anything to worry about there. Guests will probably just have one or two drinks with their meal or hors d'ouevres or whatever you are serving. The alcohol usually served at a wedding is saying "hey, have a good time!!" The alcohol served at an event like this is more like "have a glass of wine or enjoy a beer with your meal." Catholic baptisms take place when the child is still a mere infant. |
It's your event serve what you want is my opinion. I don't know the etiquette of the religious event issue. |
i think it not only has to do with what the situation is but also who will be there. My family and friends are all about making big jokes out of everything and dont really ever have the formal type situations... no matter what its for... so we would definately have beer! i dont even drink and i enjoy this type of layed back party more. |
thanks! I just feel if she doesnt agree with it she doesnt have to come simple as that, she is my best friend has been since middle school and i would love for her to be there but if she feels so negatively about alcohol being served I am just going to have to tell her she doesnt have to come |

i agree :thumbup: :D |
My cousin served alcohol at my god daughters baptism. It is whatever you want. If someone wants a glass of wine, I think that is totally okay. |

:yeahthat: Do what you think is best! YOU are throwing the party, therefore it is your choice. |
It's about your family and your celebration. Make it yours. Don't pander to other's judgements. They can stoop to that level, you don't have to. :) |
I jsut got a call from her and her dog may die:( |
oh no! what happened? |
I posted a thread bout it it says "I need YT prayers" even though we disagree we are more like sisters than friends and i feel her pain:( |
ah do what you want... some people just HAVE to say something to bring ya down :( Im sure she'll be glad to have a glass of wine or a beer or two while shes there! :) |
Your reception, your choice..tell her unless she wants to pay for it to shut her mouth! haha ..in nicer words, or course! |
