Champagne or no champagne?

While it's nice, I don't think it's necessary and I've seen at weddings that a lot of people don't drink it. Liquor at our venue costs a fortune and since we are having an open bar and wine service with dinner, we decided against the extra hefty cost of champagne for everyone. I think that as long as everyone has a drink to toast with it's fine

It's nice for toasts, but I don't think it's necessary

We're not having champagne (of course, we're not having toasts either) because I'm allergic to it

It's nice but definitely not necessary. We did have sparkling wine at our bar, but we didn't pour it for the toasts. Everyone toasted with whatever they were drinking, which most people prefer.

Oh champagne is necessary alright!

We did not have champagne

We aren't serving champagne at our wedding. The cost of the toast is included in our package, but no one really drinks champagne and we would rather just let people toast with the drinks they have. We're having out signature drink butlered during the cocktail hour instead of the champagne. You do you and so long as they have something to toast with I dont really think people will care very much

Have guests toast with whatever they're drinking, and if you like champagne get a bottle for you and your FS! I bought a bottle of 2007 Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque (recommendation from a friend) for my FH and myself for a toast.

Not necessary, honestly I like prosecco better than champagne anyway. If it's something you would like to have then go for it, but I don't think most people would notice if you skipped it.

Not at all.

Just the head table can have champagne. Everyone else can just raise their glass, as a way to cut costs. Since DH doesn't drink (along with half the party) we actually had sparkling juice. All of the guests just raised whatever they were drinking. The nice part of the toast is having a nice champagne flute set. DH and I plan on using ours each anniversary.

Most people just toast with whatever drink they already have in their hand. We are skipping the champagne.

It's nice but not necessary. If you have extra room in your budget you could spring for it

Not necessary. I think many guests would just prefer to stick with whatever beverage they are drinking.

I don't think it's necessary. Our DJ is going to remind people before the toasts section to grab a drink or refill if needed. Many people hate champagne and drink it for the tradition. Let them toast with their preferred drink :-)

We are doing sparkling white grape juice. A lot less expensive and the kids can participate as well. Our venue allows us to bring our own since it's not something they normally serve, so yhe cost per person is less than $1

Our champagne toast would have been $500, we decided to add an extra hour of open bar, neither FI or I drink champagne very often.

Champagne will be available in our open bar, but we are not specifically having it poured for toasts. Most people usually just toast with what they are drinking at the time.

My FH doesn't drink, so instead of champagne we are doing a sparkling cider... we're still honoring the tradition of a wedding toast though

We are doing champagne toast but only because it's included with our venue. If it wasn't I would skip it
