It started in the 1950's. Men and women celebrated the end of a long workday with gimlets and bloody marys. The hostess served appetizers and drinks while the guests chatted. Times have changed, but cocktail hour still takes place at 6:00 p.m. Most of us are already too familiar with cocktail hour's cousin: Happy Hour. With these bridesmaid gifts, you don't have to head out to the bar for a good time. These chic bridesmaid gifts make hosting your own cocktail circle a cinch. You'll need a flirty cocktail dress, bottles of your favorite libation, and a few good friends. But be warned, once your pad becomes the new watering hole, your friends will stop by every night for cocktails.
