We are always on the hunt for cost-saving items that can help our clients save some dough on their wedding. After all, weddings are about love, not debt.

Today, we are sharing our tips on how to save money on the bar – which is most likely one of the more expensive areas of your wedding.

Below are our suggestions:

* Create a specialty cocktail to stretch pricey liquors. Give it a creative name while you’re at it.
* Full bar is not always necessary, skimp on the less requested spirits such asscotch or whiskey.
* Instead of a champagne toasts have guests toast to the drink they’re already drinking.
* Beer Cocktails. Yes it exists.
* If your venue allows it, buy your own alcohol.
* Ditch hard liquor. Having only beer and wine will cut the costs… dare we say it, IN HALF!
* Get away with cheaper wines by serving sangria. Yum.
