"Hi Steph! I just got married and I had
something at my wedding that I would like
to share.
Neither my husband nor I particularly like
alcohol, and my family doesn't drink at all,
so it seemed ludicrous to us that we have a
bar, which would cost us an extra $1000-3000
dollars, at least most places.
However, we were stuck with the dilemma of
not wanting to appear cheap or cheesy and
only serve sodas, so we got a little
creative. We arranged with the caterer
to have an Italian Soda Bar.
We ordered flavorings from Monin.com and
served Italian sodas (2 ounces of flavor
to 7 ounces sparkling water, which most
caterers include in their non- alcoholic
bars), flavored lemonades, and flavored
ice- teas.
The result was an incredibly inexpensive
way of adding some class, and not having
to worry about Uncle Bert streaking through
the reception. The guests loved them, and
my best friend asked permission to steal
the idea for her wedding next year."

Love, love, love the idea!!!
Anything to stop Uncle Bert from streaking
through the reception, and you from turning
into another Adrienne Samen.
FYI: Adrienne is the drunk bride from
Connecticut who got into a brawl and was
arrested on her wedding a few months ago...The story (and her mug shot) was all over
the national news...What a nightmare!
Seriously though, an Italian Soda Bar is a
fabulous solution for any couple wishing to
have a classy wedding without alcohol.
I'm sure many of the brides-to-be reading
this are going to "steal" this idea too!
Thanks for sharing.
