Backyard Wedding Drinks: The Basics


An important part of wedding planning is deciding what kind of drinks you're going to offer. Even if you decide to serve little in the way of food, you'll still need to serve something in the way of beverages to sate the thirsts of your guests and to make sure that they stay hydrated. When you're still early in the planning phase, it's a good idea to run through a basic list of questions to determine the nature of the libations you will provide.
  • Is the wedding going to be dry, or are alcoholic drinks going to be served?
  • If you do plan to serve alcohol, what precautions will you take to ensure that your guests consume safely?
  • Will there be many different types of drinks to choose from, or are you sticking with one or two theme beverages?
  • How will drinks be stored and distributed?
  • How will you get rid of the waste, be it bottles, cans, or cups?
Some of the answers to these questions will depend on specific rules at your backyard wedding location. Others will depend on resources, such as money, time, and people available to help with serving. With a little advance planning, providing drinks for your backyard wedding will be a snap.
