Most weddings thatyou go to these days have a wedding ceremony where the couple is actually married, and a wedding reception, a post ceremony party. The post ceremony party, or wedding reception, often has food, dancing, and drinks. The wedding reception can be a significant cost for people who are getting married. This article will explain ways to cut down on the costs for a wedding reception and will outline some helpful wedding reception hints.
One way to cut costs for a wedding reception is to have a desert reception. This usually takes place after a morning wedding and involves some deserts and cake. It usually happens in a room near the room where the ceremony has taken place. This reduces the costs since there are often only a single facilities cost associated with the wedding and the reception. Moreover, food for guests represents on of the most expensive portion of the wedding budget. By not serving a meal and only some deserts, you can save thousands.
Another way to reduce costs is to have food at the wedding reception, but have the reception food provided by a friend or familiy member. In this way you might be able to get a significant reduction in food costs. Just make sure that the person or group of people is up for the challenge and can make the food that you require.
Although most people have a reception, if you are really strapped for cash, you may not want to have one. In this case you would only have the ceremony and the guests would go home after that. This is okay to have and it lowers costs and reduces the planning process significantly. However, make sure that this option is a good one for the bride and the groom because you can only have anniversary receptions.
Whatever you do elect to do regarding a reception, just make sure that it is a special occasion that you will remember and will think about for years to come.
