Beer Themed Wedding

From brewery wedding invitations to beer wedding favors, hops boutonnieres to beer themed wedding menus, we’ve found a little bit of everything to incorporate into your wedding to make it a success — and still incredibly stylish and elegant.

These beer themed wedding ideas can be used for:

• beer wedding receptions
• beer wedding rehearsal (“brews before i do’s”)
• beer-inspired bridal shower or couple’s wedding shower (a beer tasting, perhaps!)
• brewery themed engagement parties (“love is brewing” or “stock the bar“)

Here’s exactly how to plan a brewery themed wedding or other related events from start to hoppy finish. This theme is perfect for indoor or outdoor friendly venues! I can imagine a hot summer wedding, outdoors, with plenty of delicious IPAs flowing and merriment with guests (especially fun if you add lawn games!)

PLUS — there’s a surprise giveaway inside! Read to the bottom of the post to see what it is and how you can win it!

Enjoy!

First, decide if you’re planning a beer wedding, rehearsal, engagement party, or shower. Easy enough, right?

Next, plan where to host the party.

Where to Throw a Beer Wedding

One of the best, on-theme places to plan a beer wedding or shower? Yes — your favorite brewery! You can plan a wedding at a brewery. Many breweries offer venue spaces, and some will even offer the ability to rent out the entire brewery for the duration of your wedding so it is a private event. Imagine getting your favorite craft beers tapped right on-site!

In addition, some places offer a beer garden, an outdoor space you can rent in the spring and summer months for a fun garden themed beer wedding reception. Find out which locations near you offer these and, if available, book it!

If you cannot rent a brewery for your space, you can still plan a creative beer themed wedding at your favorite reception site, regardless if it is a brewery or not. A large ballroom, reception hall, or your favorite restaurant are just a few places where you can host your nuptials.

Choose your venue and book it. Done? Great! Now you have your wedding date (or bridal shower / engagement party / rehearsal dinner date). It’s time to put that to good use and share the happy news with a beer wedding save the date and brewery wedding invitations, along with invites for other events as shown below.
