My fiancé’s father is an alcoholic. Should we avoid serving drinks at the reception?
That depends. Have your fiancé talk to his father about it. If his father is comfortable around alcohol and will not feel tempted to drink, go ahead and serve drinks. If your fiancé isn't sure his father will be able to stay on the wagon and would feel more comfortable if liquor wasn't served, there are plenty of festive nonalcoholic alternatives you could offer. Naturally, you should also consult your parents, or whoever is hosting the wedding as well.
We’re having a luncheon reception. Can we serve alcohol that early?
Liquor can be served anytime, from mimosas at brunch to a full-scale open bar at a nighttime reception. For a luncheon reception, a fully stocked bar is unnecessary— mimosas, champagne, bloody marys, or other light drinks would be more appropriate.
A few of my friends have been known to experiment with recreational drugs. But I don’t want them doing drugs at my wedding. What should I do?
If you suspect that some friends or relatives may want to consume substances that get them happy but can also get them arrested (read: illegal drugs), taking steps to ensure that it won't happen at your wedding is well within your rights. You don't want your big day tarnished by drugs or trouble with the law.

Tell your friends in advance: no drugs whatsoever, not even in a quiet stall in the restroom. At the very least, it may offend other guests. At the very worst, it may provide you with the kind of “memorable wedding event” everyone would rather forget.— From “The Everything Wedding Book,” by Emily Ehrenstein and Laura Morin, 2000
