Eggnog and wine are the typical Christmas cocktails to look forward to. Issue an upgrade by offering signature cocktails like Love Potion #9, Merry Mule, or something featuring cranberries.

We recommend avoiding the eggnog. It doesn’t keep well, and doesn’t smell good. It isn’t easily digested by some of your guests.

Not only do Christmas cookies taste great, but they also look great too! Cut out your favorite Christmas shapes and decorate your eating areas by stacking and arranging them in artistic ways. This will create a festive focal point that your guests can snack on throughout the night.

It’s also a fun idea to write your wedding details in icing. Choose a shape like a snowman or a tree ornament for a tasty treat that looks great in photographs and worth keeping as a memento.

Cookie pops, chocolate covered pretzels, and gingerbread men are all Christmas time favorites. Include these snacks at your reception, but don’t forget some healthy alternatives.

Consider fruits stacked into a snowman or Santa shape, celery sticks stuffed with peanut butter in the shape of reindeer, and a good old charcuterie board.

When you can’t shape your food into Christmas characters, you can always turn to the dish they are served on. Choose plates that display a Christmas design to pull the whole theme together.

We recommend choosing a classic 3-tier wedding cake with simple white frosting for your Christmas wedding cake ideas. Adorn your tiers with pinecones, cranberries, and mistletoe to transform the cake into a Christmas time delight.

If you want to go the extra Christmas mile, don’t be shy about adding some greens or reds to your cake. Red velvet is a fan favorite when it comes to taste. It also looks great on its own and will immediately adhere to your Christmas wedding theme.

Although Christmas weddings have their flaws, they are still a good idea. Avoid some of the frustrations by communicating with your guests early. Giving them 10 months’ notice or more ensures that they’ll have ample time to arrange their schedules and holiday budgets.

With this bit out of the way, you can relax and focus on the fun parts.
