Toast to Love: Top 10 Ways to Personalise Your Wedding Drinks🥂🍸

Hi Bridal Diaries gang,

How are you all doing? Is the prep in full force as we lead up to Christmas?! 

Today we will be sharing some ideas on how you can go the extra mile to personalise your wedding drinks! Whether they are alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, there is something for everyone. If you want to reflect your personalities, match the overall theme or even offer something truly unique for your guests, these 10 ideas will help you craft unforgettable beverages.

1) DRINK CHARMS WITH GUEST NAMES

How cute are these heart shaped charms for any cocktail, wine or welcome champagne glass. Personalised with your guest names, they can be added to tables as a place card to guide guests to their seats. They can also be personalised with your wedding date, venue or hashtag! It adds an elegant finishing touch to your tablescape décor. 

2) MR & MRS DRINK TOPPER CHARM

Another variation of the above is this Mr & Mrs acrylic wedding charm topper. Pop them on the outside rim of a champagne or cocktail glass to add to the overall aesthetic. You can add your names, the date of your special day or even your wedding logo if you have one. There are different materials you can go for; a luxurious modern feel with acrylic or a rustic feel with wood.

3) SHOT BOTTLES

To celebrate the wedding why not get all your guests to take a shot with you either as you enter or during your speech! You can choose a quirky message to have on the bottle and pick your favourite shot which can double up as a wedding favour. If having a shot isn’t a thing for your guests then you can have miniature personalised alcohol bottles. For the non-alcoholic alternative, you can add a juice mocktail so everyone is still part of the toast! I’ve seen this work really well at a wedding recently where the couple were huge tequila fans and that’s exactly what they toasted with after the groom’s speech.

4) PERSONALISED STRAWS

We’ve noticed that most guests tend to use a straw to drink so why not personalise these with the date, your initials or your wedding logo to match the décor and bar theme. This can be quite an affordable idea and you even DIY these wedding straw flags. 

5) WELCOME DRINKS WALL

Instead of a welcome sign, you can welcome guests with a drinks wall! This can be beer, prosecco or even a cocktail and match this with the rest of the decor theme. This can really set the tone for the party and will sure to impress guests as they love something interactive! You can place this indoors or even outdoors if the weather allows. These can also double up as a seating plan alternative!

6) EDIBLE DRINK TOPPER

You can get really creative with this or keep it super simple. Instead of having a plain cocktail why not add a drinks topper? Again, you can add your wedding logo, your initials, your future surname or even a photo of you both, which can really elevate the look of the drinks. 

7) DRINK STIRRERS

If you want something minimalist yet practical, you can customise drink stirrers with your initials, adding a touch of sophistication to your special day.  

8) COFFEE MUG WITH COFFEE BEANS

This one is for all the coffee lovers! If you want to share the love with your guests why not have this as a wedding favour. This is a really handy keepsake for you and your guests to remember the day, whether you give this in the morning of an event or at the end, guests will definitely be taking this favour home!

9) CUSTOMISED COCONUTS

If you’re having a destination wedding or a festival/summer themed wedding, why not get custom engraved coconuts? They add an extra wow factor and can be used during a pool party, a pre-wedding event or even the drinks reception.

10) SIGNATURE DRINKS BAR SIGN

Right, this one is last as it’s the easiest and most cost effective- customise your bar menus! You can invent your own names of drinks or even incorporate your pets which can make a cute addition! This bar sign is not only functional but gives a sleek look to the bar. You can have fun with naming your drinks, playing around with puns and names. This could be as simple as “Mint to Be Mojito”, “Mai Tai The Knot” or “Happily Ever After Margarita.” Get your thinking hat on with this!

I hope this has inspired you and if you do choose to go with any of these ideas, we would love to see! Etsy should be your go to place for most, if not all, of the above ideas! Your guests will appreciate the effort as your wedding drinks won’t just be the norm, they will be memorable! Everyone will enjoy raising a glass to your new life together!

Happy Planning!

Love,
