Katy Perry the Wedding Unicorn: she sneezes glitter, pees lemonade, and shoots pink fire

Our wedding featured a life-sized unicorn that sneezed glitter, peed lemonade, and shot pink fire.

Yummy mocktails for very cool wedding drink alternatives

So you’re planning out your beverage strategy for your dry wedding, or your wedding with kids and future Offbeat Mamas, or just looking to offer some non-boozy alternatives. You can surely offer sodas and coffee, but why not make their experience a little more special with fancy-shmancy mocktails? Adding fancy stemware and a garnish will put those teetotalers in the mood to party, and they won’t feel left out from any “signature cocktail” moments.

Since we constantly remove labels and stick new ones on for our home-brewed beer, I have a couple quick tips for anyone pulling the ol’ switcheroo to save major dollars on the bar.
