Let's raise a toast to the newly weds! There are so many opportunities for toasts during your wedding ceremony and after at the reception/party. Whether it is just the two of you or an extended mix of friends and family having a thoughtful solution for beverages is a must for a wedding. And, like everything else on the day, you can do it differently. Here are just a couple of examples of alternative ways to bring the 'Cheers' to your day.
BYO: Yes, really. For couples who have been married before, or have been together and already settled a BYO stocked bar is a great alternative to gifts. You can keep it simple with an open BYO which works well for short reception parties, or you can make it more specific and allocate a beverage or bottle per invite to make up the bar for everyone i.e a case of beer or a bottle of spirits, wine or bubbles. Don't forget the non-alcoholic options too.
BYOB: Cocktails your thing? You can even make your BYO concept a BYO bottle of spirits (BYOB) for a cocktail mixologist to work their magic with. For service, set-up and cocktail flair that are BYOB try @sirandshake or @theirishshakes
Dry Bar: A dry bar is a great solution for outdoor or unique venue weddings where you need to DIY set up. These vendors provide the set up be it a chic caravan or a complete bar set up with glasses and you provide the booze (or in some instances they can source or recommend for you).
