Sponsored by Blanc de Bleu Cuvée Mousseux

The best wedding receptions always include great guests, tasty hors d’oeuvres, “live” entertainment, and variety of beverages to satisfy everyone. And let’s not forget about the special bubbly for the toast. In salute to the newly married couple, guests should raise their glasses filled with a bubbly that’s pleasing to both the eye and the palate. Here are some tips to help make your reception more memorable and maybe add something blue to your magical moments.

Beverage Tips

When planning the beverage menu for your wedding we recommend having something for everyone to enjoy. For underage drinkers and adults who prefer non-alcoholic, include sparkling waters, sodas and juices. Your combination of alcoholic beverages could include a light beer, pale ale, one red and one white wine, and, of course, one sparkling wine for the toast.  

If you are interested in pairing your food with your white and red wines or bubbly, there will certainly be some guests who will take notice and likely appreciate their meals even more.

The Toast

Tradition is for the best man to be master of ceremonies and kick off the toasts.  Wedding couples are usually excited to hear what will be said about them, as long as it’s in good taste. A wedding toast should be simple, charming and sentimental, and should honor the lovely couple planning to spend the rest of their lives together.

Toasts should be given after everyone has had time to unwind and enjoy their meals. The main toast is recommended before the newly married couple has their first dance. More toasts can occur after the special dance, but keep in mind that guests also want to  dance , drink and enjoy their time at the reception. To keep things moving, the toast should be heartfelt, but brief. Everything  said should be focused on making the couple smile with appreciation.
