Champagne Toasts
With NYE just around the corner our thoughts turn to sipping bubbly and celebrating with friends and family as we ring in a new year. Not too different then when we think about upcoming weddings! Looking for ways to throw a fabulous wedding without breaking the bank? How about a cocktail wedding reception?
Cocktail wedding receptions are formal events and, typically, call for formal attire for women and black tie or business for men. Since wedding guests stand for most of the party, these parties encourage mingling. You can add cocktail tables and stools and even funky couches for guests, especially grandma and grandpa, to rest. Why not throw in some late night dancing if your venue has the space.
Cocktail receptions are perfect for newlyweds looking to have an elegant affair, without spending a fistful of dollars. How about holding it at an art gallery, on outdoor terraces underneath the stars or in garden surrounded with patio lanterns.
Some d'oeuvres may also be served by waitstaff or on buffet tables at a cocktail reception. The wedding cake is cut after the wedding ceremony. This way guests can enjoy a piece of the wedding cake along with their drinks.
