If you plan on having a great time at your reception (which I’m sure you intend on doing), then you should have an even grander time actually planning it! I’m talking beach wedding cocktails, ladies and gentlemen! Making sure the reception décor and all the odds and ends that go with that are absolutely breath-taking is completely fine, but you also need to think about the things that will allow your guests to unwind and have a great time right along with you two. As always, being prepared in advance is always a very effective proactive step for the long haul, so it’s best to start thinking about the cocktails you would like to have served at your beach wedding reception. Making custom cocktails for your guests will not only cool them down, relax them and enhance the tropical experience, but will also have them looking for your secret concoctions elsewhere way after your wedding is over!
