I love champagne, but I also love wine. I would be 100% happy without the champagne!
Wouldn't be missed....only reason I'm having it mandatorily there at my wedding is because it's New Years Eve and the "I DO's" are at midnight! besides that, I think it's n additional cost you can skimp on without any issue.
With the other selections you have available it wouldn't be missed.
I won't miss it. I contemplated having a champagne toast but for the price it just wasn't worth it.
We had a debate about this. We also had an open bar cocktail with white/red wine for dinner, and I opted to forego the bubbly at $50/bottle as charged by our venue. My husband however insisted on having a champagne toast, he said it wouldn't feel like a complete wedding to him without one. So we ended up having it and his irresponsible friends ended up drinking way too much of it (on our tab). As a guest I'd maybe think of it after the fact "hey there was no champagne" but not really miss it.
Honestly, I see the chapagne toast go awry all the time!
I'd probably notice it, but with an open bar, I wouldn't really care. I think what you're doing is totally fine.
I love champagne more than any other alcoholic drink, I actually drink it whenever it is available, and we keep a bottle around the house for when the desire hits ... so I would totally miss it!
No because I don't like champagne of any kind. Alot of other people don't drink it either (hence why most champagne toasts go to waste and people take one sip out of obligation and leave the rest) and prefer to drink something else instead. I know our guests wouldn't miss it since none of them drink it, period. With a full bar, someone should be able to find something they prefer, including nonalcoholic options.
I wouldn't miss it, and the only reason why I'm having it is because my venue included it in the package/price. I found a few places that were going to charge $17-$22 per person for a 2-second toast--like seriously? I wouldn't have paid more for it.
Even though I love champagne, I think what you're doing is fine. We had glasses of champagne distributed to all the guests before the toasts, and much of it sat there untouched. We also had a full open bar and most people preferred to toast with whatever they had in front of them.
I wouldn't miss it a bit, especially if there were other alcoholic beverages available.
I'm pretty sure we won't have a champagne toast either, but we're having a full bar. Honestly, I can't remember whether or not I've had champagne for the toasts at any other wedding, including those that I have been to while I am planning our wedding! Don't stress about it :)
I wouldn't miss it. We didn't have it & no one noticed...everyone toasted with what they had.
I voted no. Esp. since I too am planning on not toasting w. champagne, but have everyone toast w. whatever they have...whether that's water.beer.mixed drink.wine,etc.
Saves a little on cost too. :)
p.s. my package for our wedding also 'comes with the champagne toast' but I asked our wedding planner to remove it from our package. She said it was only $1 per person...but then told us she could apply that extra $ toward the plated dinners...thus making them a bit cheaper per person. :)
Win win I think. :)
We do toasts at every dinner celebrating something big and do it with whatever is in our glass (sometimes there's champagne but not usually). I like champagne but wouldn't think twice if it wasn't there.
We'll get a few bottles of champagne, but we're not doing the full champagne toast. When it's gone, it's gone, and people can choose something else to drink.
I'm obsessed with champagne. I get it everywhere (constantly celebrating yaaaay, lol) even if its totally not that kinda place. However, if I went to a wedding that didn't have it, I'd be disappointed for like a second. I'd order it, they'd say they didn't have it and I'd order a different drink. No worries. Everyone should be able to find an alternative.
Can you bring your own bubbly? You can get prosecco, cava, or other sparkling wines for less than 10 dollars/bottle if you buy a case or more. There are quite a few American wineries producing "champagne-style" sparkling wines these days that are excellent quality.
seriously no one will miss it - stop worrying about it :)
I dont think we are doing champagne toast.. just a normal toast.. not many people i know drink champagne.. im not even sure if we are going to have wine.
I love champagne and so, I want it at my wedding. But if I attended a wedding with a full bar like yours, I wouldn't miss it.
I wouldn't miss it at all. I think a toast is a toast and it doesn't matter what drink you have in your hand, however...
I was just at a wedding where they brought out apple cider and poured it like champagne. This wouldn't have been a problem if it was an alcohol free wedding, but it wasn't and guests had no clue their glasses were not filled with champagne. To say the least they seemed shocked and confused. If it were me I would have just skipped all champagne and champagne like drinks and asked the guests to grab a glass of whatever for the toast
I would notice its absence, but I would definitely not care!
We didn't have it! We all just toasted with what we were drinking!
I always seem to like the idea of champagne for special occasions but then when i start to sip it i remember that I don't like the taste that much! I don't see a problem with not having it but i have heard some people wonder why it's missing. If you have other drink options than i wouldn't worry about it.
We are serving it before the ceremony at a champagne reception while people come in but we aren't serving it the rest of the night. We will have wine, beer and some specialty drinks for the actual reception.
I think having champagne for toasts is a nice touch but with the other choices you have it isn't needed. :)
I voted yes.... only because if I were a guest I would notice it wasn't there for the toasts and I guess that kind of counts as missing it... but I wouldn't really miss it in the way that I would mind one way or another. :) If you don't have champagne I think that would be alright.
I actually had to pay extra just so I could have it, otherwise half the reception would have been miffed.
We had real champagne at the luncheon following the ceremony, and Prosecco at the at-home reception. However, I did these things only because (for complicated reasons) we didn't pay extra for it, either place. I think having guests toast with whatever they are currently drinking is fine.
We didn't have it at our wedding. People just toasted with their drink of choice, and it was fine.
I enjoy champagne, and I'd notice if there wasn't any, but I wouldn't be upset or put out in any way.

I'm planning on not having champagne at the wedding. FI doesn't like it - I do - but am fine without it. We'll have a full bar and white and red wine. Do you think it really matters if I skip it (we wouldn't pour it to toast with it, even if we had it).
Thoughts?
