One way to spice up your wedding reception to make it a little more personal is to go for a signature drink. This can be wine, beer, a mixed drink, or even something non-alcoholic. Having your personal drink is fun and whenever you have it in the future, it will bring back good memories of your wedding day.

Wine and beer are part of most weddings. Why not pick up a special bottle instead of just choosing the generic type recommended by your caterer?

Signature Wines offers such a service, as do a number of other companies. You can even find places where you can determine the ingredients and brew your very own bottle of beer!

If wine and beer aren’t your cup of tea, instead offer a free mixed drink at the bar that says “you.” There are some great suggestions at About.com, but anything is possible! If you can’t afford a full open bar, offering instead two free drinks (one for you and one for your groom) at a cash bar will appease your guests without being hard on the wallet. Think about drinks that are low on alcohol and that fit your personality.

You don’t have to choose an alcoholic signature drink. If you and your husband-to-be are coffee lovers, hire a bistro to make decadent coffee concoctions (think Starbucks) for your guests. Or, consider a milkshake bar or specialty iced tea in fun flavors like mango and raspberry. Do what works for you and your groom!
