Its #ThirstyThursday so I thought I’d share with you some fun ways to spice up cocktail hour at your reception.
Sweet Signage
Let your guests know exactly where the drinks are at with some cute signage! We love the idea of giving each guests a jar as their own to fill and refill during the festivities and if you’re looking to really add some personality, why not opt for signature drinks that you as a couple put together!

Straws & Stirrers
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to brighten up your drinks, think straws or drink stirrers. It could even be a great idea for all the brides whom enjoy the DIY creations. There are several projects you can try your hand at, for instance just add the likes of ribbons and pom-poms to some skewers and voila.

Finishing Touches
If you’re looking for a simple way to glam up your glasses, popping some fresh berries, a sprig of lavender, edible flowers or my favorite garnishing the rims of your glasses with sugar will guarantee that pretty finishing touch.

Fun Ice-Cube Ideas
Have you ever seen a nicer batch of ice-cubes? It may be a bit over the top but you cannot deny the prettiness! If you’re having a smaller, more intimate soirée, it could be a really lovely touch to add some fun ice-cubes to your drinks. Whether you decide on using edible flowers or fresh berries, the result will be the same – evidently gorgeous!
