Q: I want to have drinks at the reception but it’s not really in my budget. Is it ok to write byob [bring your own bottle] on the invites? How should I write it?

A: Ummmm no. Can we say tackhead? Are you having a wedding reception or a frat party?

There’s nothing wrong with having a reception sans alcohol. If you don’t want alcohol then don’t have alcohol. There’s no reason to make a big deal of it, people will find out when they get there.
