Wedding Reception Ideas By Napolitano

• A little girl grows up dreaming of her wedding
  day with a perfect picture in her mind on how it
  is supposed to be. Then we grow up, get engaged
  and become shocked at how expensive everything
  is. Things become crazy and we get stressed out
  wanting everything to be Mori Lee Voyage 6406
  perfect but wondering how to pay for it all. A
  wedding should not put you in debt. Debt is not a
  good way to start a new life with the person you
  love.

• The reception can be the most expensive part of
  your wedding the location rental, the food, the
  alcohol and other beverages, the DJ or band, the
  flowers, the place settings, etc., etc. There are
  ways to cut costs. First of all it is your
  reception do not worry about pleasing your
  guests. They are supposed to be there to share in
  your special day, not to critique the food and
  the decorations. I been to many, many Pronovias
  Folk and receptions and I can remember ever
  thinking that anything they did was tasteless or
  tacky. I don recall caring whether or not they
  had extravagant decorations or simple
  centerpieces. That was not why I was there.

• One of the easiest ways to cut the expense of
  your reception is to cut all the extras. Unless
  you can get a great package deal that includes
  all the bells and whistles, you don need them.
  You can choose to have your reception earlier in
  the day so you don have to provide guests with
  dinner. You can have hour devours and finger
  foods along with your San Patrick Escarlata cake.
  You can skip the alcohol or just have the
  champagne toast and shots for the dollar dance.
  Giving shots for the dollar dance works to your
  advantage because if guests want the alcohol they
  have to pay to dance with you to get it. Another
  option is by having a cash bar, let guests pay
  for their own alcohol while you provide just tea,
  coffee, punch or soft drinks. If Uncle Fred or
  Aunt Jackie wants to get toasted, they can do it
  on their own dime.

• If you really want to have a dinner reception
  check your area for culinary arts schools or
  cooking schools, sometimes they will cater an
  event for just the cost of food. You could even
  have pot luck. Have close friends and family each
  cook a special dish for your reception. You are
  bound to have great food without the cost of a
  caterer. Skip the fancy linen tablecloths, china,
  and silverware settings. I about had heart
  failure when I found out how much rental for
  those items would be. Plus I would have had to
  wash everything before returning it, except the
  tablecloths. Paper plates and plastic silverware
  are fine. No one will be insulted because you did
  have fancy table settings. If you think someone
  will be insulted maybe you should consider not
  sending them an invite. You can coordinate the
  plates, napkins, and silverware with your Sottero
  and Midgley Sybil Jsm1343 colors and it will look
  very pretty. You can also use plastic or paper
  tablecloths. Everything will be disposable and
  you won have to worry about returning rentals
  when you should be enjoying your honeymoon.

• If you want decent entertainment, check out local
  colleges for bands or DJ. With modern technology
  and computers many college students have
  excellent music skills. Music can be downloaded
  from the internet and saved on an MP3 player or
  burned onto a CD. Casablanca 1894 You can get a
  techno savvy person to play music at your
  reception. Just give them a play list of certain
  songs you want played at certain times and make
  sure they have plenty of your type of music on
  hand. Give them a list a head of time so they can
  download any specific songs you may want.
