To be honest it shouldn't be that hard to do at your wedding!! As I know at mine I was bust getting around to people and chatting and dancing that I kept forgetting where my drink was and in the end I think I had 1 drink at wedding!!!
Yup I agree, you will be so busy socialising with all your guests and your guests with each other that I reckon people won't even notice! Take a drink/top up when it's offered and then float on to the next group, table etc. If you constantly or regularly have a drink in your hand, people just assume you're drinking from it. Get your DH to be to help you out too by deflecting discussions if they move in that area. You can also try drinking water for a while and telling people that you just downed 2 (or three or whatever!!) glasses quite quickly and it's gone to your head so you're having a water before your next drink.
Tell people that you and your DH plan to start TTC straight away and decided to not drink just in case.
I was pregnant on my wedding day and no one even noticed that I didn't drink alcohol. Our glasses were pewter and for the toast, mine was filled with lemonade. DH annouced the pregnancy in his wedding speech and everyone was shocked we'd kept it a secret! lol
All the best for your pregnancy and for your big day
You can get non alcoholic wine from the supermarket if you want people to think you are drinking. But, as Feeb said, it's your wedding day, you won't have alot of time to drink.
I didnt drink at my wedding and no one even made a comment. Maybe you can get away with it, otherwise if someone says something just say "oh i put it down somewhere" and if they get you another well you can just dump it off somewhere.
My DP and I don't want a few people to know yet, so if we go out and they are drinking we just make sure I get a non-alcoholic drink on the way in and he or I replace it before someone else can! It has worked so far, we think...
I bought a bottle of non-alcoholic sparking grape juice to put in the fridge, so if the Saints win on Friday night I can pretend I'm joining in the alcoholic celebrations
I agree with PP - it's hard to actually drink one full glass on your wedding day. I wasn't pg, but asked the function co-ordinator to make sure I had mineral water - I didn't want to drink too much and wanted to stay hydrayted. I kept putting down drinks and forgetting about them.
Take a sip of champers for toasts etc, but otherwise stick to soft drink. When people ask, just say you're alternating your drinks. You'll be so busy moving from one person to the next no-one should notice.
