Cigars and Weddings Why It’s a Must

The first item on every bride and groom’s wish list is always to have the best and most memorable wedding day ever. For this to happen, one thing their wedding must have is an equal mix of love in the air and fun to spare.

The marriage rites themselves with the vows, teary-eyed guests, and the flying rice as the new husband and wife exit the ceremony comprise the romantic aspect of the affair. However, what elements can you put in place to have the fun rolling on that special day?

Well if your wedding is coming up any time in the future (or if you know any soon-to-be-walking-down-the-aisle couples), there is an idea you must try to add a good measure of fun to what will forever be one of the best days of your life. This idea is to have a cigar bar for the occasion.

Why is this a great idea?

It’s a brilliant idea because cigars are an extraordinary way to insert some fun and liven up the atmosphere of your wedding while still keeping things highly sophisticated. Celebrations and cigars are like the two C’s in the Chanel logo; they have always gone together. Without cigars, you hardly have a party, thus zero fun during your event. Cigars complete the celebration of love, which is why it is a must to have them at your wedding.

1. Pre-wedding De-stressing

The period that leads up to your nuptials is bound to be extremely stressful. Running up and down in a bid to ensure that everything is set and the wedding is perfect can mean that you will hardly be getting enough sleep for some time.

This can even go on for up to months because weddings involve a lot—saving a date, finding a location, sending invitations, the bride’s wedding dress, the groom’s tux, event decorations, the wedding cake, organizing catering to feed your guests, selecting bridesmaids and groomsmen, rehearsals upon rehearsals, and so much more. The pre-wedding workload is as heavy and hectic as the first Monday after sick leave.

With all the effort you are sure to put into this one day of your life, you will have earned yourself a treat to unwind so you do not get overwhelmed by everything. A nice cigar is a perfect way to relax and release any pent-up stress from the preparations so that you can step into your wedding day feeling less like you’ve been through the wringer and more like a million bucks.

Your friends and family who also assist you through this demanding preparation process will appreciate getting treated to some sweet, soothing cigars.

2. Marking a Milestone

There is an existing belief that smoking a cigar should be used to mark a life-changing occasion. For many people, a cigar immortalizes events or experiences in one’s life. Thus, when that once-in-a-lifetime day comes, cigars will be the perfect symbol to introduce you and your significant other to this new phase in your lives.

3. Cigars and Drinks Are Always a Hit!

At your wedding reception, when it’s time for all that excessive drinking and dancing that everyone has been looking forward to, cigars are the number 1 addition to complement these activities.

Normally, cigars go well with a wide range of drinks. So whatever your guests are filling their cups with, whether it is wine or champagne to make a toast or even coffee or tea or juice depending on the people’s preferences, cigars will always make the wining and dining a perfect hit! And yes, cigars are also splendid with meals—another reason why they are a must at your wedding!

4. The Fun Part

Now that it is time to finally let loose, eat, drink, dance, and have fun, cigars will become a necessity. With cigars, a relaxed and easy avenue for guests to socialize and relish the beautiful occasion will be created, and simple bonds will be formed—even between strangers. There will be zero dull moments during your reception and your guests will be highly appreciative of that.

Yours might just be the first wedding your guests might have ever attended and gotten offered cigars, so it will be a novel and interesting experience for them. The cigars will create memories for everyone that they will most likely not be able to forget any time soon.

5. The Sophistication

Cigars are a sophisticated way for people to enjoy themselves. So while these little stogies will be bringing in a significant amount of fun to your sweet celebration, everything will still be kept exceptionally classy.

6. Post-wedding De-stressing

On the way to the honeymoon, you and your beau or belle can have the perfect culmination of your special day by sharing a cigar or two and easing your way into your new lives with easy smokes and fine flavors.

You may want to place your cigar bar in a somewhat private space so no one is made uncomfortable but make sure people are still aware that it is there for those who want a stick or two for the occasion.

2. A Cigar Roller: Another option is to hire professional cigar rollers who will create cigars from scratch in front of you and your guests. Doing this will take the cigar element up a notch because not only will you and your guests be able to have custom handmade sticks, but everyone including the non-smokers will be entertained from watching the intricate craftingbycess.

3. Wedding Souvenirs: Customized cigars are an amazing and original idea for what to give your guests to tell them “Thank you for coming”. You can have your souvenir cigs crafted creatively with a personalized touch—for instance, sleeves the same color as your wedding theme, or custom labels such as your initials, a personal logo, or even a photo of you and your spouse.

Now, you can take this chance to add something spectacular, different, and memorable to your big day by incorporating cigars one way or another into your wedding.
