Event tip Tuesday! Who doesn’t love a welcome drink? Welcome cocktails and branding go hand-in-hand, and it’s a great value add for your event for a few reasons: 🍸 A welcome drink is a great first “taste” of your brand! They’re versatile enough to make it sophisticated or silly, in your logo’s color, or simply given out with a branded napkin. 🍹 Keeps that bar line short! We all know what the most popular part of any occasion is - unfortunately it’s also the one that gets the most congested. Help make guest experience great by tray passing right at the beginning, perhaps with servers as gorgeously in theme as these ladies! Decked out in florals for a spring fling event. 🥃 It’s a great value add. One of the Buddy categories I’m often asked to trim for events (but especially weddings) is the bar. A welcome or signature drink is a great way to incorporate your favorite libation without offering a full bar. PLUS if you buy a few popular mixers for that kind of alcohol, you can accommodate more tastes without offering more liquor. 🍺🍷🍾 And, don’t feel that you have to make it a cocktail either - I’ve had clients do their favorite sparkling rosé from Napa or Yuengling beer! Whatever suits the tone and client will be a winner #eventtips #eventtiptuesday #welcomecocktail #welcomedrink #bartips #weddingtips #eventplanningtips (at Santa Monica, California)
