One of my favorite ideas is to offer a “signature drink menu” of wedding themed cocktails:

Something Old – A classic cocktail such as a Gin & Tonic, Manhattan or Sidecar

Something New – A more modern cocktail, like a Cosmopolitan or a Flirtini

Something Borrowed – A cocktail from your favorite restaurant or vacation spot

Something Blue – There are so many fun ideas for blue cocktails – we’ve included some recipes below to get you started!

Getting creative and taking time to personalize your wedding food and drinks will go a long way towards personalizing and adding cohesion to your event.  Your guests will notice and appreciate the extra thought you put into it and you’ll be thankful that you did.
