Line the escort card table with flutes right outside the reception so guests can find their seats with something fizzy in hand. If you want to use this as a moment for the champagne toast, set up a sign closeby so guests know to hold on to their drink.

4. Champagne Guest Book

If a champagne diva is too over the top for your celebration, set up a champagne tower to impress your guests. (Even if you're confident in your tower-pouring skills as a couple, have a professional bartender or your caterer properly set up the tower of empty glasses so you know it won't collapse when all eyes are on you and your new spouse.)
