4 Unique & Boozy Wedding Ideas
What's a wedding without booze? A meeting? Check out 4 unique and boozy wedding ideas to bring on the fun and create a truly memorable event.
1. Champagne Toast or Cocktail Hour BEFORE the Ceremony.
First things first. Consider holding a champagne toast or cocktail hour before the ceremony.
Why we love it:
This is a great way to spend more time with guests, and get your guests ready to party!
Most ceremonies are outside. So, unless it's exactly 72 degrees and partly cloudy, you and your guests will likely be somewhat uncomfortable for the hour that is the ceremony.
Hot, cold, buggy, sweaty, or windy, everyone will be more relaxed and able to enjoy the ceremony with a drink already in their systems.
2. First Shot as Newlyweds
Take a shot right after pronouncement as husband and wife.
Why we love it:
This is one of our favorite boozy wedding ideas. The most nerve-racking part of the day is over. You made it down the aisle without tripping, you didn't say the wrong girl's name during vows (Friends reference), the flower girl didn't have a meltdown, and the dog ring-bearer didn't run off. Take a shot together, you earned it!
Venue: Lightner Museum
3. Signature Drink(s)
Incorporate a signature drink or drinks into your bar package.
Why we love it:
It's a great way to add a personal touch. Did you have a specific drink together on your first date?
Or, do "His & Hers" signature drinks so guests can enjoy each of your favorites.
