Have you always dreamed of an elaborate wedding reception, but have become content with a simple reception to save money and/or time? Well, you shouldn't give up on your dreams. Your wedding is a special day and you don't want to have to look back wishing you had done things differently. It is in your best interest to create the wedding that will be most memorable and happy for you. Despite widespread notions, having a celebrity-style wedding reception doesn't have to mean cleaning out your bank account. By using some unconventional resources you can have the wedding reception to rival those of celebrities, but without the high cost.
Become Organized
Before you can accomplish your celebrity-style wedding reception you have to become organized. Make a decision on what things you want to include. Don't worry about how much everything will cost yet. As you start shopping for everything you will determine if it is all doable or not. The things you put on your list should be the location of the reception, what decorations are needed, food, drinks, centerpieces, place cards, and the music you want.
Enlist the Troops
If you want to save money on your wedding reception-skip hiring a professional. These individuals are typically highly skilled in what they do and their fees prove it! Your best bet is to find people who are willing to help you for free. You shouldn't have to look further than your family and friends. Enlist the services of as many people as you can. This includes children. Children can be especially helpful with repetitive crafts, so include them in your wedding reception plans. Don't wait until the last minute to solicit assistance. Let people know way in advance that you will need them to help you with your wedding reception.
Now Go Shopping
Grab your shopping list and head out the door to shop. The most expensive thing on your list will be deciding on the location of this wedding reception. The more inexpensive ideal locations include church halls or restaurants. If you select a certain restaurant see if you can use your own glasses, flatware, and plates. You can get these things rather cheaply for under a hundred dollars depending on how large your guest list is. Make the guest choose from 2 or 3 choices of food (when they RSVP) to make it simpler. When you have a plate count the caterers charge less. For an added bonus place a dish of sweet treats on each table. Go to craft shops or hobby type stores for the supplies you will need for centerpieces and other decorations you want. You can find ideas on all of it and how to show your helpers how to make them. Place cards are not imperative, but they do help the guest know where to sit if you are assigning seats. These can be made on a computer with a greeting card software program. And then printed using you printer. Unless one of your helpers can be a deejay or they are part of a live band skip that kind of music. Go with CD selections of your favorite music instead for a really inexpensive choice here.
Reward the Troops
A traditional way of thanking your helpers is a dinner with all of them like the night before after holding the rehearsal. Sometimes this is called the rehearsal dinner. You can have your reception helpers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents as well as of course the bride and groom there to enjoy the fun. Make sure that you thank all your helpers for all the effort they gave into your wedding and reception that will make it the best day ever.
