By: Jhong Ren | Posted: 04th February 2008
• Invite Within Your Budget
The whole idea is to plan an inexpensive wedding reception, and although writing the guest list is the most challenging, you have to decide who is going to be on your list and still be within the budget. The most beautiful day is underway and only one thing will matter: the commitment and declaration and everybody there to see it. Invite everyone you love. Cut down on dinner costs and limit the bar. Whatever you do, try not to cross out any names.
• Name Your Space
Know where you want people to mingle and mix with each other. Make the reception fantastic. Give people the chance and the opportunity to dance, meet, become acquainted and feel comfortable. Guests should not slip away and leave. They mustn’t run away for a smoke and then never return for the party. Name the space with closed doors or ribbons, and so not hesitate to block off rooms and other areas. Make a common part of the house an area for mingling. This will promise guests an eyeful of every moment as it unfolds in their presence.
• Special Things for the Fun of It
Around 80 percent of the guests attending your wedding are going to be complete strangers to the next one. Wedding memories are made when new relationships and friendships are created. Bring in a little specialty dance, interactive games, and bold announcements; interrupt the reception with fun activities where people can get to know the stranger the other side of the room. This way, people will enjoy themselves and not feel shy and keep to themselves.
• Have Fun and Let Go
The bride is responsible for setting the tone at the reception party. All brides should just forget everything and let go at the reception. Have fun and forget those minor worries. Your job has now come to an end. Your idea to plan an inexpensive wedding reception was a success. Now take it all in!
