WELCOME DRINKS FOR YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION

Serving welcome drinks at the reception venue after the ceremony is a fab way to bring everyone together to start mingling and reminiscing about how lovely the ceremony was. 

You should aim to serve a minimum of two drinks per person, to keep the guests busy while you and your new husband have your wedding photographs taken. 

What you decide to serve as welcome drinks can depend on the season you are getting married in or if you are getting married abroad it could be the local drink of the area. 

Here are some ideas.

SUMMER WEDDING

White wine

Rose wine

Pimm's

Alcoholic and non alcoholic fruit punches such as blood orange sangria or strawberry Pineapple punch 

Elderflower cordial

Fresh lemonade

Cocktails such as Mojitos or Elderflower Cosmopolitans

Limoncello Gin Cocktail

WINTER WEDDING

Mulled wine

Raspberry Martini Fizz

Red wine

Hot whisky

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic hot fruit punches such as apple pie punch or 

Hot chocolate with marshmallows (some with a kick of liquor)

Winter Pimm's

Cranberry Margaritas

TOP TIP

Alongside drinks, offer guests a selection of canapés - alcohol on an empty stomach is never a good idea. Canapés should be bite size and include options for vegetarian guests.

Concerned about the budget? If you're serving plenty of canapés, scrap the starter and go straight into your main course. And finally...make sure your guests are comfortable. 

If you're allocating an hour for drinks, be sure to offer some seating and plenty of shade from the sunshine.

Have you decided on what welcome drinks to serve on your wedding reception? 

Share it - I can't wait to hear about it!
