Morning of Cocktails?

I'm looking to have a morning of cocktail for my girls and myself for before/while we get ready and while we wait for the time to come! What are some ideas you have or have seen?

    I had orange juice and whipped cream flavored vodka and it was delicious. Pace yourself as it might hit harder than you expect it to, but I was able to keep a warm and happy buzz going, didn't embarrass anyone, and fully enjoyed myself.

    That sounds really yummy! I'm definitely good at pacing myself though- it takes me 30 minutes to drink anything with alcohol when I'm not intending to get drunk, just because I feel it pretty quick (not necessarily that I'm buzzed or anything, just aware of how much I've consumed!). I do want to make sure I pace my girls too, since I don't want them getting super tipsy before the ceremony, so anything I serve them I will be controlling their alcohol intake, just by controlling how much of a drink I make and how much alcohol is in it.

    I pre-mixed at home and brought it in bottles. Made it super easy and wasn't having to worry about it there. (I was really the only one drinking though). Also was being considerate of my venue, as they technically have a rule that only the bartender can serve drinks. I ran it by the DOC and she just told me to be discreet. As in, don't walk around outside with an obvious bottle in hand.

    A mimosa bar with a variety of juices would be great (Orange, Guava, Pineapple and Mango. Sometimes you can buy them already mixed together as POG or MOG). It makes them so good! Bloody Mary's would be good as well. And of course, coffee and tea. A bit of Baileys or Rumchata for the cofffee would be good too!

    I'll probably serve mimosas for the girls but also have other beverages like coffee and tea for those who don't want to drink. We'll probably have a quick toast, but personally I'm not drinking before the ceremony so I'll do just orange juice.

    If I weren't serving mimosas, I'd probably do a ready to drink sweet beverage like Barefoot Refresh Rose Spritzer or a moscato. Pretty low alcohol content, nobody will absolute hate and be unable to drink it unless you have someone really sensitive to sugar. And it is a light enough colored drink (God forbid there are any accidents and spills!)

    I'm doing a mimosa bar with orange, pinapple, cranberry, guava, and pomegranate juices and they'll each have a stemless champagne glass with their name on it... I'm a huge mimosa fan so it's completely me!
