We all know that it has become quite a popular thing to add a personal touch to your wedding with a signature cocktail.

What's yours?

Here are ours

waist friendly drinks :D

From Glamour Mag

Champagne

Forget choosing between wine and beer. A 4-oz. glass of bubbly is only 85 calories. That’s about 15 calories less than a 12-oz. bottle of light beer or a 4-oz. glass of wine—and let’s be honest: The average glass of wine is usually at least twice that size

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sour-Apple Martini

We bet you thought this list was going to be filled with sippers like white-wine spritzers. Guess again. While we don’t recommend a Carrie Bradshaw-approved cosmo (it has more than 250 calories), that doesn’t mean all martinis are off limits. Try a sour-apple one, made with 2 1/2 oz. sour mix and 3/4 oz. each vodka and sour apple liqueur, for a 160-calorie treat.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Vodka and Diet Lime-flavored Soda Like Sprite Zero or Diet Sierra Mist

No, it’s not the most glamorous drink at the bar, but it is refreshing (and refreshingly low in calories—under 100!). Plus, it’s clear, so your dry cleaner will thank you if you spill any on your new party dress.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Mudslide

This is the kind of sweet drink that sounds like it’ll set you back more calories than a hot-fudge sundae. In reality, it’ll cost you 184 calories. Maybe the Dude from The Big Lebowski could have whittled his waistline if he’d drunk these instead of white Russians (338 calories).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Gin and Tonic

It’s always good to have a go-to drink, and unless you’re still in school, a vodka and Red Bull doesn’t count. Up your sophistication level while lowering your calorie count by ordering a G&T. There are 103 calories in 1 oz. gin and 3 oz. tonic.

We didn't have one at our wedding but my cousin did at her's 2 weeks ago. It was a wedding cake martini that was so good! The only thing I remember being in it was vanilla vodka and they put sugar on the rim of the glass.
