Looking at our receipt

As you know, our reception and our ceremony was held at the Seawatch Restaurant. So, after our reception, we looked at our receipt and was a bit ... baffled. Not because they made a mistake on our bill but baffled with the guests/servers.

Before I start, let me remind you of how many people were there. There were 8 kids (age 12 and under, which included an infant). And there were 19 adults.

According to our receipt, we paid for 21 adult dinners. Uh...I only ordered 19. Why did the servers offere adult dinners to 12 years old and 10 years old? Of course they are going to choose adult dinners. They're at that age for goodness sake.

And for drinks, we decided to do open bar because we thought it was a good idea, to show our appreciation for all our guests but we didn't expect the following either:

18 Soda Pop
5 Pineapple
6 Lemonade
6 Virgin Pina Colada
17 Tropical drinks
27 Patron shots
5 Souverain SB Glass (not sure what this is)
3 Dr. Loosen Glass

The drinks alone were over $500!! Seriously??? To charge $500 for merely 26 people. Appearantly, people were ordering shots left and right and ordering more than one drink. Some people were ordering lots of tropical drinks (pina colada plus some other kinds) AND ordering soda and some other stuff. I mean, I know I said open bar but please....slow down with all the booze, would you please? I know one of our guests thought "but you already paid so we just want to make sure you get your money's worth". Uh..that's not how open bar works. You don't pre pay anything and you pay for drinks as you go along. I wonder if other people thought the same....

I'm talking to my friend about how much each shot costed and he said that's a normal price. WOW...I'm so out of the loop. $10 for a shot? CRAZY!!! May I just say I'm glad I don't drink. Drinking and being cheap don't mix. ha ha.

In all, I'm glad everyone had fun even though I was left with a sticker shock....
