10 Tips for a Successful Reception
Timing is everything! In this article, you will pick up ten great tips that will not only turn you into the perfect host, but will also lower your stress level and allow you to enjoy your party! Read on ...
Expert Tip of the Day - Get a different tip each day!
You Can Save Money on Your Reception! The most popular day for weddings is Saturday. This day is also the most expensive. If you can be flexible on the day of the week for your wedding, you can save a lot of money. Selecting a less popular day may enable you to negotiate lower fees. Sundays are great since many sites don't get a lot of requests for Sunday weddings. Expert Tip by: Ken Giordano, AssociatedMinisters.com
Head Table
The focus of the reception room is traditionally the head table. Here are some head table tips!

1. Keep centerpieces low.
2. Make sure the table is placed where the DJ can see you.
3. Head table seating is traditionally as shown below:



Something Different:
Rather than having the traditional head table, sit at a large round with your bridal party and their spouses (or dates). If you have a large bridal party, this may require more than one table, but allowing your bridal party to sit with their dates will make the night enjoyable for them, as well!


Small Receptions

Just because you are having your reception at home or at your church doesn't mean you can't go festive and gourmet! Have your gourmet reception meal delivered to your door, from Omaha Steak

Guests Can Help with Reception Memories!

Special Touch Ideas:
1. Order reception table cameras - delivered right to your front door!

2. Pass around a Hallmark Album or Scrapbook and invite your guests to write a message to you and your groom!

Music at the Reception

There is NO doubt that your musician or DJ will make or break your party. It's tempting to skimp in this area, especially when you are on a tight budget. Don't do it! Hire the best.

A good DJ or band-leader will make the transitions between reception events seamless and will have EVERYONE up dancing and celebrating with you!


Uncle Bob wants to be the DJ at our reception.
It's FREE!
Should we let him?


Ummm ... think twice!

Your Wedding Cake
Tradition says the "bride's cake" is usually a white layer cake, but today's brides are being VERY inventive with their cakes! You can get anything from cheesecake to individual mini cakes for each guest!

Look through the bridal magazines for ideas and clip out the designs you really like. When you visit the local bakeries ask them if they can re-create the design for you. Be sure not to limit yourself, though! Ask the bakery if they have any "specialties"!
