    We definitely can't afford an open bar, and most of our friends are not heavy drinkers anyway.  However, we are planning on offering a nonalcoholic punch, a champagne punch, bottled water, and Crystal Light.

    The nonalcoholic punch will be nojitoes (nonalcoholic mojitoes), made from the Stirrings mojito mix.  My FI and I love it--we've been "testing" it by drinking it every day recently.

    However, we're still looking for ideas for a champagne punch.  We don't want something really sweet.  At the same time, I'm a little concerned about doing a citrus-based punch, given that the nonjitoes are also citrus-based.  I thought of Mimosas, but my FI doesn't think plain old orange juice is festive enough.

    Any ideas on great-tasting champagne punches?

    i just had a fantastic champagne cocktail yday - muddled strawberries with champagne and ice cubes. i also saw a white sangria on a menu made from champagne, fresh fruit and rosemary. didn't get to taste that but it sure sounded yummy and refreshing.

    I have a friend who makes champagne punch for all of her Christmas parties. It's so good. It's on the really cheesy recipes with Sprite and brandy and an ice ring. I love it! I'll try to find it and share. Makes me want to make some today...that would be weird. ;)

    I actually don't think it would be too weird to have a citrus based punch as guests will likely be drinking either one or the other anyway

    I love bellinis! The white sangria mentioned upthread sounds great, too.

    I really love champagne with a little chambord, then either pineapple juice or pomegranate juice.  It's yum!
