Along with all of the other details that go into making a great South Dakota wedding cocktail hour, there are also certain etiquette rules to follow. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that guests should not have to pay for drinks at any point during the wedding; this means no cash bar. Guests have already traveled and taken time out of their lives to help you celebrate. We understand that the drink bill can add up fast, so here are few tips on how to get the most for your money and be hospitable.
- Serve your signature drink (which can be non-alcoholic) along with a couple of other choices such as beer and champagne or punch and tea.
- Ask to use house liquors instead of the big-name labels to save some money on mixed drinks.
- Only host an open bar during the cocktail hour, then have only wine and beer available during the rest of the reception.
- Limit the length of your cocktail hour to 45 minutes instead so people are eating sooner and drinking less.
- If there is a friend in the group that tends to get a little crazy, talk to the individual prior to the event. If it seems like it may still be an issue, simply don’t invite them.
