edding receptions often need a lot of time and money to plan because most people would not like to see their wedding receptions fail to impress their guests. It has actually been noted in many weddings that many guests enjoy the reception more compared to the wedding ceremony. The following points should be therefore help in preparing the reception.
The first thing to consider is color scheme. It’s important to choose colors that convey some massage about your likes or hobbies, favorite sports, or pastimes and even destination of your honeymoon. Color can be easily incorporated in the various décor e.g. table and chair covers, tents, centerpieces and on the wedding cake. Lighting can be used to enhance color especially if your reception is being held in a room. Take time to look at photos of past receptions for more ideas on how color should be chosen depending on location and season.
Then there is the guest list. Choosing the number of people who will attend your reception should be made carefully so as to include there interests and expectations. Also, it can help you in planning on the size of the reception area and the catering so that you do not waste money on a large venue and food.
Speaking of food, please ensure the quality of food is not compromised as it may not please your guests when they are served with food that is not tasty. Try to add more flavors by including other drinks like wine and specially prepared meals. Place a menu on each table alongside cutlery to help your guests decide on the food and drinks they prefer. If possible, name each table either by guests’ family names or just numbers for easy location. The bridal cake should be placed in a place that can seen by all especially when cutting it. Traditionally, many will serve the cake and then go into a bridal slow dance.
The music should be chosen with great care as it will provide a form of entertainment along side the master of ceremony. Avoid selecting music that is a cliché to the audience. Soft soothing tunes will always work better. One can also hire a good band to add creativity and originality in the music. The entrance of the bride and groom should be a think for the guests to remember. It can be enhanced through a slow walk with pauses down the main way, waves to the audience and bowing to acknowledge their support.
It should be remembered that the reception is made for the guests and therefore a way of appreciating them, e.g. through favors should be included. Favors that can be presented depend on various traditions and the host’s taste.
Other things such as the master of ceremony should not be overlooked either. He or she should be entertaining and keep the guests informed on what is happening and what to expect. Finally, it’s time for throwing the garter and bridal bouquet to the bachelors and bachelorettes respectively. A word of “Thank you” should follow to appreciate the guests for taking their time to celebrate with you.
