Signature Drink

Having a signature drink at your reception can be a huge money-saver! You can offer your guests wine, beer, and your special drink. Going to Hawaii for your honeymoon? Maybe offer a fun blue martini with an orchid garnish. Met your man in Dublin? Maybe offer a sweet Bailey's drink on the rocks.

For the ultimate cute signature drink, use Pearl Wedding Cake Vodka as the main ingredient! Check out some recipes HERE:

The Drunk Uncle looks especially good!

Saying thanks

Always send thank-you notes within three weeks of receiving a gift. Never wait longer! It tells your families and friends how much you appreciate them and the gift they gave you. And always hand-write them!

A proper note thanking someone for a gift reads like this:

Dear Sally,
Thank you so much for the beautiful vase, it will look so perfect on our mantle in the new house. It was great to see you at the wedding, we hope you had as much fun as we did!
Much love,
Nicole & Justin

Thanking someone for cash is a little bit different:

Dear Sally,
Thank you so much for your generous gift! It will go a long way in helping us save for our first home. It was great to see you at the wedding, we hope you had as much fun as we did!
Much love,
Nicole & Justin


Be sure to mention the specific gift or gifts given so your note doesn't read like a form letter. And remember - people love you enough to give you a gift, you should be gracious enough to receive it kindly.
