According to Favor Ideas you can really save a lot of money by holding a martini party wedding reception because you are not expected to serve a big expensive sit down dinner. Instead you will be having a cocktail reception that runs for a couple of hours – for instance from five to seven p.m. For this to work you need to present the occasion to your guests as a cocktail party and on the invite encourage them to wear cocktail attire? Another nice touch is to serve a signature martini of some sort that reflects a favorite taste of yours and the grooms. For instance if both of you like mint then you could have peppermint martinis made from schnapps and vodkas as a special drink.
There are lots of creative ideas for wedding favors with this sort of reception as well. This can include monogramming the napkins or inscribing the martini glasses with the initials of the bride and the groom. Make sure you hire a bartender who is a natural born showman to make your evening complete
