Anyone for a Cocktail Wedding Reception? Martini Wedding Theme - Champagne Wedding Theme

Be cash savvy and still treat your wedding guests to an individual and sophisticated wedding reception.  A martini wedding "cocktail" reception could be just the wedding reception idea for you.  It is recommended by wedding planners for couples who want to keep the cost of their wedding down.

For a martini wedding reception you will need to do a little planning to fit in with cocktail wedding etiquette. 

A martini cocktail party is usually held late afternoon to early evening and will last between two to three hours and gives you the perfect opportunity to make a really individual and stylish wedding party.  

If martinis are not to your taste then why not a champagne cocktail wedding party?  If you are looking to keep to a smaller budget then ask about a cava or sparkling wine to serve up.  Choose your favourite colour and include that in your theme, we love these red Christmassy champagne cocktails.  Get your champagne wedding flutes pesonalised, the perfect memento for your wedding day.

Serve hors d'oeuvres and consider researching a special signature wedding cocktail to serve to your guests, often couples choose to have the cocktail named after themselves, perfect to drink to newly weds health, wealth and happiness.  You will of course need to serve other drinks and don't forget to have soft drinks available.

A martini wedding reception can be elegant and sophisticated, look for simple but sensational cocktail wedding  style decorations, ambient lighting, enough room for your guests to mingle and background wedding music to create a good atmosphere.  Maybe a piano bar setting, look at local bars and restaurants and ask if they could offer you something to fit your ideal wedding theme.
