We did two signature drinks, a Martini and a Vodka Tonic. It is a nice way to tie the bar back to the bride and groom as those were our favorite drinks. Signature drinks can also calm any concern people may have over other people misbehaving due to too much drinking. We had a family member who got us into his club for the reception and was concerned about people drinking too much, the signature drink I guess "classed it up" for him and lessened that concern.

Your guests have taken the day to celebrate with you, when they could have been doing other things. They dressed up. They probably attended the church or ceremony.They also brought a gift - and probably not a cheap one (because THEY didn't want to look tacky.) Show them the respect and appreciation of an open bar. It's definitely worth it. Cash bar is extremely tacky. Your guests have taken the day to celebrate with you, when they could have been doing other things. They dressed up.

What an awesome idea, limiting the open bar and specializing it with signature drinks! I wish I'd thought of that when my niece got married recently. Thanks for this great idea! OH!
