Wedding Reception

A lot goes into the organization of a wedding reception. Make sure to begin planning your wedding reception as soon as you have set your wedding date.

The purpose of a wedding reception is to allow family members and friends of the new couple the chance to offer their congratulations and celebrate the couple's new marriage on an informal basis. The wedding reception is also a chance for friends and family members to meet and socialize with one another, and to have dinner with everybody and offer many toasts and congratulations to the happy couple.

Unfortunately, the wedding reception is one of the most expensive parts of a wedding. This is because of the catering. Even if it is family and friends or the bride and groom doing the catering, the cost of food to feed dozens or even hundreds of people is very costly, especially if you're planning on serving more than hot dogs and french fries. And unless the wedding reception is an extremely informal one, actual sit down courses and meals are served - not hot dogs and hamburgers.

Plans for a wedding reception should be made as soon as a wedding date is set. There is a lot to do for a wedding reception. First, notify the managers of the location where you want to hold the reception. Then you need to make plans for catering, and notify the caterers of how many guests, and what types of food you want.

The reception is usually held in a location near the location of the wedding ceremony, as this keeps transportation arrangements simple, which is a special courtesy for any out of town guests you may have.

A wedding reception can be held at a hotel, restaurant or banqueting suite. This is an ideal arrangement because setup, serving and cleanup is arranged by the hotel staff, restaurant staff or banqueting staff. Also, there is adequate room for everybody, and for plenty of decorations.

Before contacting a hotel, restaurant or banqueting suite to arrange a date for your wedding reception, make sure to have a rough idea of how many guests will be attending the wedding reception!
