To have beer, or not to have beer? That is the question.

So, my wedding reception is not going to be that of lights, DJ, and booty-dancing. I've known that for a while. It's not going to be a club, it's going to be an elegant reception of fine food, wine and dancing to the jazz standards. 

Having said all of this, I would like to have cocktails and not just wine, as everyone doesn't like wine. The dilemma here is that I don't want to have beer! I don't know how many wedding photos I've seen with guests holding beer bottles or cups of beer and it just looks trailer trash! I hate it! So now I face the problem of confusing guests by having mixed drinks but not beer, or narrowing my options to just wine. 

My newest idea is to have passed drinks during the cocktail reception to take out the bartender, and therefore, the beer. Red and White Sangria, I think, would be beautiful. The wedding planner says she has a few ideas as well. 

Or maybe we'll just have beer and I'll raise the roof while I'm at it.

  1. Have wine during dinner, but during cocktail hour you can have a signature cocktail or cocktails (only one or two drinks)passed around....something fruity and sweet, but not too sweet....the McAdams martini!
