What are wedding drinks tokens and vouchers?

Tokens and vouchers work in two main ways. The first is a drink token, which is a small card or coin that guests hand over for one drink, for example a glass of fizz or a pint of beer. The second is a cash voucher, which has a value printed on it, and the bar deducts that amount from the guest's order. Both options let you give a generous gesture without an unlimited open bar.

They are useful for weddings where the venue charges per drink, or where you want to limit how much you spend on the bar. You can give every guest two tokens at the start of the evening, or put a voucher in each place setting. Make sure the bar staff know exactly what each token covers, and tell guests in advance so they are not surprised. You can also use tokens for a specific drink, like a signature cocktail, which adds a personal touch. Keep the design simple and clear, with the venue name and a short line like "One drink on us". Order them with your stationery so they match your theme, and have a few spare in case any get lost.
