Tips for Deciding on Original Drinks♡ Using Local Specialties

One classic idea is to create an original drink using local specialties or famous products from the bride and groom's hometown.

For example, if you are from Aomori, using apples; if you are from Ehime, using oranges. If there's a famous fruit or food, it's easy to incorporate it♩

If you enjoy alcohol, it might be nice to include local sake from your region as well.

Relatives and guests from the same hometown are sure to enjoy drinking it＊

Tips for Deciding on Original Drinks♡ Imagining Memorable Places

Another option is to create an original drink that represents a memorable place you've traveled together♩

For instance, if the couple enjoyed a trip to Okinawa, they could create a blue cocktail inspired by the sea...

If they've had a lasting impression from their first overseas trip together in Paris, they might use the colors of the French flag...

Many ideas can be inspired by places and locations♡

It's a good idea to include a message related to that memory on the drink menu＊

Tips for Deciding on Original Drinks♡ Imagining Favorite Things and Hobbies

This is also quite common, but creating original drinks based on favorite things or hobbies is a classic approach♡

Here are some examples:

- If they enjoy watching baseball and are both Giants fans, they could make an orange cocktail.

- If they love Aladdin, they could go for an Arabian Nights theme.

- Using the image colors of their favorite band

- Since they love sunflowers, they could create a yellow drink.

And so on.

It might be nice to emphasize their favorites or hobbies using small items like straws, so guests can easily recognize them♩

Tips for Deciding on Original Drinks♡ Based on Guests' Birthstone Colors

One fascinating idea I came across was using birthstone colors for the original drink colors♡

May is green for emerald, July is red for ruby, and December is blue for turquoise, and so on.

If you gathered all 12 months, guests might think, "I want to try the drink for my birth month!"＊

If everyone at the guest table orders their corresponding drinks and takes pictures, it could create a colorful atmosphere! It sounds like so much fun♡

Tips for Deciding on Original Drinks♡ Imagining Professions

Cocktails inspired by the bride and groom's professions are also recommended＊

For example, an orange drink for firefighters, a white-themed drink for nurses, or a drink inspired by the sky for those who work at an airport, and so on.

If you work in finance, manufacturing, or IT where there isn’t a specific image color, adopting corporate colors or images of major products might be a good choice too.

If you're expecting many colleagues to attend, these drinks could attract attention♩
