Is it wrong to ask people to bring alcohol to a party? (Everyone is of age)

I would like to ask people to bring alcoholic beverages / wine to a party on an invitation.. how would I do so politely?

Something along the lines of

" Bring your favorite wine"

" What's your favorite drink? bring it!"

I do not want to use BYOB ( bring your own beer)

Does anyone have any great ideas to word this????

  1. Well what is the point of a party if the invites have to pay for it?


  2. No, I'm cheap so I naturally would tell everyone to bring their own alcohol and at some parties which are hosted by one of the neighbors, everyone even brings food.

  3. If you are throwing the party, the bill is your responsibility.  Most people with any good etiquette though will bring a bottle of something or they should at least ask what they can bring.

  4. IMO, if it's not a formal party, your idea and either of the suggested wordings are just fine.

  5. Nice drinking and driving hope no one gets a dui

  6. most parties i have been to call it a bring a bottle  party  that seems to work it all end up on one table and people either stick to their own or just drink whatever is there just buy a couple of bottles of wine to get started, but the way to word it is "bring a bottle"

  7. BYOB........

    B..ring

    Y..our

    O..wn

    B..ooze

    That's what it stands for.....here in Indiana.

  8. no a lot of people are told to bring there own bottle of booze

  9. Actually, BYOB usually means bring your own bottle.  If it's a casual thing, I would just say something like," Bring whatever you'd like to drink, I'll have some mixers here."  Plus it's your birthday---I wouldn't hesitate to say something like, "My birthday present to myself is not having to buy alcohol so bring your own!"

  10. no i don't think so.

  11. oh. haha. i was gonna say byob...

    but yes, i think the 1st line "bring your favorite wine" is good. if you're bringing wine, then it seems a little classier, which i'm not felling for the 2nd one.

    so 1st line. short, sweet, to the point, and polite. =]

  12. no where i come from you take your own anyway

  13. I think you have the right ideas up there.

    because it does get really expensive having to provide alcohol for everyone. Plus you dont know what everyone prefers.

    So just a polite reminder to bring something they can enjoy.

    Hope this helps!!

    xoxo
