Ever since Kevin and I moved in together I have loved finding new recipes to cook for dinner. While some nights I just go with the easy recipes that I know by heart, on the other days I pull out my bible, Rachael Ray’s “My Year in Meals.” I am such a big fan of Rachael Ray that I have even subscribed to her Every Day magazine and honestly; I get excited when it comes in the mail. Ha!
My style of cooking is not “following the recipe.” While I still get the ingredients from the cookbook I like to add my ideas into the mix. Basically, cookbooks are my guide and if I want to add my spin then I do.
Though there is a con to this approach, sometimes I cook something so tasty and then I can’t repeat it as I don’t remember how much of what I put in to the dish. What a problem right?!
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.
