Consider
including your theme in ways other than the linens, favors and colors. For example, the cocktail hour offers several
different approaches including your
signature drink. This is a great way to
have a semi-open bar (save money) and create thematic fluidity (pun intended)
throughout your event. Your signature
drink or drinks can be available on hand for your guests, while other drinks ordered
by your attendees are from their own pocket.
By doing so, you save a great deal of money and include your guests in
your theme.
A
tropical-themed wedding may offer a Piña Colada, Mai Tai or Bahama Mama. A theatrical event may serve drinks with characteristic names such as 007 or the Tomb
Raider.
Your color
scheme may be apparent on your tables and in your centerpieces, but you can
also include your pallet in a signature drink:
PINK LADY MARTINI BLUE HAWAIIAN MOJITO
LONG ISLAND ICED TEA RUM PUNCH COSMOPOLITAN
LEMON DROP MARTINI WHITE RUSSIAN
If you have
chosen to cater your event with a specific cuisine, pair your signature drink
with the food. For example, a Spanish
event may serve Sangria. American
cuisine may offer unique beer selections from local micro-breweries. Accompany your French menu with a champagne
cocktail.
Don’t forget
to personalize your signature drink by naming it something memorable and creative!
