(2) The Drinks

When it comes to alcohol, the right buzz will allow wedding guests to let loose and relax. So yes, guests do care about the drinks because it helps set the mood for the festivities, especially the after party! Apart from alcohol, other non-alcoholic refreshments are also memorable wedding details, especially when these match the wedding theme or location. For instance, tropical coolers are great for beach weddings.
