Planning a wedding in San Antonio is super exciting! It’s a beautiful place with lots of cool things to do. And guess what? One of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding is deciding what drinks to serve at the party. In this blog, we’ll share some fun ideas for your wedding drinks. Let’s get started!
1. Special Drinks for the Bride and Groom
First things first, let’s talk about making special drinks for the bride and groom. Imagine having a drink that’s all about you and your partner. Cool, right? You can work with the person in charge of making drinks (a bartender) to create two drinks—one for the bride and one for the groom.
For example, if you had your first date in a park, you could make a drink called “Parkside Passion” with exquisite flavors like lime and mint. Don’t forget to give them fun names! This way, your drinks become extra special and unique.
2. Use Local Flavors
San Antonio has some really awesome places that make their own drink called “breweries” and “distilleries.” You can show off these local drinks at your wedding. You can serve special local beers or even have a tasting station for tequila. It’s a great way to celebrate when you’re getting married and share some tasty drinks with your guests.
3. Don’t Forget About Non-Alcoholic Drinks
Not everyone drinks alcohol, and that’s totally okay. It’s important to have drinks for everyone, right? So, besides the special drinks and local flavors, make sure you have things like sparkling water, fruit juices, and sensational mocktails. This way, everyone can have a drink and join in on the ‘Cheers’ even if they don’t want alcohol. It’s nice to think about all your guests.
4. Keep It Cool with Beverage Stations
San Antonio can get really hot, especially if you’re having your wedding outside. You don’t want anyone to get too hot and thirsty, right? That’s why you should have drink stations all around your wedding place. You can put out things like cold water, lemonade, and iced tea. You can even make a fancy station where people can add fruits and herbs to their water for extra flavor. That’s super refreshing!
5. Get a Professional Bartender
A professional bartender is like a drink expert. They know how to make amazing drinks, and they can make your wedding bar awesome. They don’t just make good drinks; they also make the drinks look cool when they serve them. They can talk to your guests, suggest drinks, and make sure everything runs smoothly at the bar. So, find a good bartender who knows what they’re doing.
6. Be Responsible with Drinks
Having a fun bar is important, but safety is even more important. You want everyone to have a good time, but you also want them to be safe. So, think about how your guests will get home safely if they’ve had a little too much to drink. You can arrange for transportation like shuttles or rideshares to help everyone get home safely. Also, make sure your bartender knows when to stop serving someone if they’ve had too much to drink. Safety first!
7. Make Your Bar Look Great
The way your bar looks can make your wedding feel even more special. You can decorate it with signs, flowers, or cool things that match your wedding theme. Make sure you have enough glasses, fancy things to put in drinks such as garnishes, and the right tools. A good-looking bar makes everyone happy!
