Your drinks reception is a lovely way for guests to unwind after the ceremony and catch up with others they know. And there are some gorgeous ways to create a fun, relaxed vibe for everyone. Creative couples are coming up with all sorts of ways to put their stamp on the drinks reception and make it that bit more entertaining and personal. From magicians and comedians interacting with guests to lawn games they can enjoy over a drink, there are some great entertainment options out there. Little details like personalised napkins or labels, and signature cocktails are also a cute little nod to the happy couple. And if you’re looking to have a striking feature, a drinks station is always an awesome idea! Check out more ideas we’re loving for drinks receptions below…
