morning wedding

what does everyone think about people drinking at the morning wedding..i feel like i'm spending money on alcohol when no one is really going to drink it..i know it has to be available but do people really drink on a saturday afternoon>

Re: morning wedding

What time does the reception start? I would still drink at a daytime wedding.

Re: morning wedding

You could do something simple..

Have a signature drink or punch
Mimosas (champange & oj)
or just wine & beer.. for an afternoon wedding I think that's lite enough

Re: morning wedding

I would, and have, gotten pretty blitzed at afternoon weddings. I like the idea of having a signature drink. Maybe you could have Bloody Marys and mimosas be passed during the CH so people can warm up to drinkng and then a full open bar for the reception.

Re: morning wedding

You bring up a good point. I've been to a few early afternoon weddings and I defintely did not drink as much as I normally would in the evening. It's something psychological I think....

Re: morning wedding

I think that people will drink at a wedding no matter what time of day it is, but the simplification idea is great!!

Re: morning wedding

Re: morning wedding

Yeah, its early, but its festive, its a happy event, so why not?

We're having an afternoon wedding and I've been to a bunch and most people party like its after 5. They may not get AS smashed as if it were late (which may be a good thing) but its not such a big deal to drink in the afternoon.

I love the bloody mary or mimosa idea for the cocktail hour though.

Re: morning wedding

I would say its no problem with alcohol at 12. I went to daytime wedding and people including myself had alcoholic beverages, its the same time frame as yours.

Re: morning wedding

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SIGNATURE DRINKS. That is something that i would pick if i has something in the morning time. But Anytime of date a wedding is i still am going to drink.

Re: morning wedding

I would probably drink less during the day, but I'd definately drink. If you think about it...people typically order/offer either screwdrivers, bloody marys or mimosas at a Sunday Brunch....and brunch usually starts at 10:30 or 11....I think it may never be too early for a cocktail for some people!
