Drinks
Serving drinks at the reception can be the most expensive part of the whole event at times. Of course, it doesnt have to be.
Here are some great tips on serving drinks at your reception that will satisfy everyone; particularly the person/persons who are paying for it.
Serve your beer and punch for free and get all to pay a minimal amount like a dollar per mixed drink etc.
Offer an open bar for a small amount of money per guest such as 2 or 3 dollars to help you recover some of your money.
Request that the champagne toast is free and that everyone bring their own drinks to the outdoor reception. For this option you can also let everyone not be obligated to give a gift.
Look to get your spirits in bulk from a wholesaler
Begin to prepare for your reception months ahead of time so that you may purchase all of the drinks over a time period rather than all at once.
Do not forget to include special punches or sodas for non-alcoholic beverages.
