Invites to Brew Excitement
Those “Love is Brewing” invitations? They’re like the first sip of your celebration—they should leave guests craving more. Coffee cup designs or craft paper envelopes set the perfect tone right away. Want to really wow them? Tuck little treasures inside like coffee beans, tiny spoons, or custom coffee sleeves.
You might mail them traditionally, or go the extra mile with a hand-delivered cup of joe. However you send them, make sure these invites get your guests excited to RSVP with an enthusiastic “yes!”
MODERN MOH TIP: Real talk—a text message works perfectly fine too! Sending digital invites feels just like asking friends to meet for coffee, which fits the theme beautifully.
Coffee-Inspired Decorations
Picture your venue transformed into the coziest corner of everyone’s favorite café. Tea lights nestled in coffee bean centerpieces cast a warm, inviting glow across tables. If you have some time, make some handmade coffee filter flowers in soft colors to add whimsy and texture throughout the space.
Around the room, banners or signs display cute coffee puns like “Love is Brewing” or “Espresso Your Love,” while string lights and craft paper runners complete that perfect café feeling.
Stick to a palette of beige, mocha, and cream, then pop in the bride’s favorite color to break up all that neutral. Trust me—your guests will be impressed!
MODERN MOH TIP: Setting up individual stations for all your favorite coffee offerings will really bring a fun and interactive layer to your gathering. Make these stations clear with signs!
A Coffee Party Menu
What pairs better with coffee than fresh food that could have come straight from a cafe? Start with a yogurt parfait bar where friends can layer creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, juicy berries, and sweet honey drizzles. Next to that, set up bagels and toast with spreads ranging from cream cheese to avocado and flavored butters.
On the sweet side, rich tiramisu, moist coffee cake, and incredible affogatos (that’s espresso poured over vanilla ice cream—heaven in a cup!) satisfy any sweet tooth. If you’re leaning toward brunch vibes, throw in some savory sausage rolls for balance!

Love is Brewing Some Drinks
No coffee-themed party would be complete without an amazing drink setup. Create a DIY Coffee Bar where friends can craft their dream cup—espresso, lattes, cold brew—you name it! Stock syrup dispensers with vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut for that coffee shop experience and offer a selection of beans. If you’d prefer, look into hiring a local vendor to set one up for you!
Looking for some extra touches? Heart-shaped sugar cubes and delicate spoons add style to every cup. Want something stronger? Espresso Martinis bring sophisticated buzz to the celebration. Feeling adventurous? Set up a DIY Ice Luge for coffee liqueur or chilled espresso shots—it’s interactive and absolutely memorable.
