Non-Alcoholic Wedding Cocktail Hour Ideas
Most weddings will have a cocktail hour between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception. It is a good time for the newlyweds to have photos taken, for the guests to mingle, and a nice transition into the reception proper. Although it is standard to have liquor during a cocktail hour, it is not mandatory. Find out how to plan a great wedding reception social hour without serving liquor.
One of the first things to consider is what you would like to call your non-cocktail cocktail hour. Ideas could be social hour, hors d'oevres time, or the meet and greet hour. There is nothing wrong with having a non-alcoholic cocktail hour, if that is what you want. A non-alcoholic mocktail hour is not a backdoor to getting away with a cash bar - either have free liquor or don't have any! The alcohol-free social hour is usually a prelude to a reception with no booze served at dinner either. It might be a good idea to make a mention of the type of celebration on your wedding invitations so your guests know what to expect. It could be something along the lines of, "Join us for appetizers and mocktails following the ceremony".
A reception can be dry and still be a great time! Whatever your wedding will be like, there is a great idea for your refreshment hour. Perhaps your taste runs to a glamorous mansion and sparkling crystal bridal jewelry. Create a few delicious non-alcoholic cocktails that match the overall theme of your wedding. They will look very sophisticated in martini glasses. Upscale hors d'oeuvres served on silver trays will be ideal for this style of party. Nobody will bemoan the absence of booze when the event is so stylish.
One fun option is to plan your mocktail hour around a fun theme. A fantastic idea for beach weddings is a tiki inspired mocktail hour. Set up a retro tiki hut for the bar and serve drinks like virgin daiquiris, pina coladas, and the like. Really dress them up with cocktail umbrellas and chunks of pineapple on the rim. Serve the drinks in festive vessels like carved tiki figures for a cute detail. Serve up lots of yummy fresh fruit and skewers of jerk chicken for the hors d'oeuvres. This is a fun social hour theme for guests of all ages.
You might also wish to consider a classic punch and tea cake sort of refreshment hour. This would be highly appropriate for the bride who prefers classic bridal jewelry, traditional venues like country clubs, and simple rose floral arrangements. Guests will enjoy it if you offer a few different kinds of punch, like a lime base and a tropical fruit version. Dress up the punch bowl with sliced strawberries, flowers frozen in ice cubes, or other garnishes. Dainty cream cheese sandwiches (with the crusts cut off, of course), little cakes, and savory bites are the ideal accompaniment. This would be a great option for the bride who wants a DIY cocktail hour.
With a little planning, it is certainly possible to have an enjoyable non-alcoholic social hour to start your reception. As long as you make it a festive part of your wedding with plenty of good refreshments, everyone will be sure to enjoy it.
