For the Guys – Cigar Bar

Thinking about surprising your groom with something fun at your reception? Consider a cigar bar!  One option is a DIY route, where you buy a variety of cigars at a local shop or online. The local shop might be your best bet, since the store’s employees can help you pick out a nice selection. Another option is finding a local cigar roller.  This is such a fun element to add…it will entertain your guests, especially the men, and everyone will stand around mesmerized by the process. Either way, you can definitely get creative and put together a nice corner to the reception that your guy and all the men attending will appreciate!

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• You’ll need a wedding venue with an outside area.
• Have your planner check the local rules about smoking near entryways and window.
• Create a lounge in the outdoor area with rented furniture.
• Be prepared to sign a damage waiver on the rentals.
• Customizing matchboxes is a great photo-op and take away from the wedding.
• The area will gain a life of its own.
• Get regular cigars for the guys, petite cigars for the ladies.
• Many cigar companies will come in and set up a station for rolling and cutting right there.
