    Extra, but we might still do them because its free since we're having an open bar. Just not high on our list of things to do.

    For me it’s essential. We were going to do a mimosa bar but when they said that would be $1,000 we decided that wasn’t reasonable. By having two signature drinks we cut that price in half.

    Extra, our venue doesn't allow us to do one easily though I do love the idea of it.

    This was essential for us. We did beer and wine, so having a signature cocktail was a nice touch that we were able to tie in with our "theme." There wasn't much left at the end of the night, so people definitely enjoyed it. We provided our own alcohol, so it wasn't a big extra cost, but I did have to mix the drink myself.

    Extra but love it and doing it anyway! If you are already having booze, why not throw in a suggested drink, as long as it can be made in advance or isn't so complex that it will slow down the bar?

    Extra but since it doesn't cost anything we are doing it.

    Extra for sure. Our venue already has a craft cocktail menu, so we are doing "our favorite cocktails" from their menu

    Extra. It doesn't mean anything and the guests will really only remember that you had a drink, not the flavor or anything.

    I want to say Extra. However, we plan on hosting wine and beer only, so have a signature drink or two may be nice for those looking for something alcoholic that don't like beer or wine.

    Extra. If we were doing a backyard wedding / a wedding where we could self cater I definitely would do them but our venue charges a lot for signature drinks. Beer, soda, and water for us!

    Exactly how I feel! I think it's a fun way to personalize something and have some fun with the drinks!

    Extra. Make what you want. We don’t need to have something we concocted as a signature drink. People are grown. I’ll have a full top shelf bar. Drink what you want.

    So cute! But with our venue we don't really have the option. Thinking about having them for the rehearsal dinner though since the group is a pretty good size!

    Essential. How else am i supposed to get pink drinks? there aren't any traditional cocktails or drinks that pour beautiful pink. Also, who doesn't love a pun?

    Extra. Its fun, and I loved it at our friends' wedding, but it just wasn't a must have for us.

    Same! If it was us stocking the bar, we would have signature drinks, but I think our venue charges extra for that, and we're already doing an open bar.
