wedding reception

Serving signature cocktails at your wedding reception is the perfect way to add a personal touch while trimming your budget.

Having an open bar at your wedding is your responsibility as the host. That being said, hosting a full bar comes with a large price tag. Opting for a smaller bar menu including beer, wine, champagne and a couple of signature cocktails will keep you on budget and make your guests happy all night long.

When choosing your signature cocktails think of ways to make them more personal. Here are a few tips to help you pick your perfect drink:

• What drinks did you and your partner fall in love over? Your guests would love to share in the fun and hear the personal story of the first drink you ever shared.
• Do you have a shared love for coffee or chocolate? Incorporate it into a martini!
• Get creative and label your drinks fun nicknames. Have your guests try the Bonnie or the Clyde!
• Use your location for inspiration. Having your wedding in a barn? Spiked lemonade hits the spot.
• Want to keep it simple? Try a dark whiskey drink for the groom and a clear vodka drink for the bride.

Signature cocktails are just that, your signature. Make them personal, make them creative, and of course make them fun!
