- You should re-name the event to “Pre-reception hour d'ouvres”.
- Make sure water and non-alcoholic beverages are available from the bar.
- Consider having a signature non-cocktail, such as strawberry lemonade available for guests.
- Allow guests to purchase alcohol on their own. If you decide you only want beer and wine available upon purchase, make sure you have somewhere easily accessible for guests to purchase this on their own.
The cocktail hour traditionally occurs between the ceremony and reception. It is a fun portion of the wedding, and it can and should be completely flexible. Traditionally, for the cocktail hour, beverages and appetizers are served. The drinks can be alcoholic or non. You can opt for a bar setting or include two or three cocktail choices that are passed (champagne, beer, a signature cocktail, etc).
Remember, although it is your wedding day, people have spent money and time to celebrate with you. If your budget doesn’t allow for alcohol to be included, its still important to make sure its easily accessible for your guests.
Don't be afraid to make your cocktail hour unique, drinks or not!
