Wedding Reception Ideas

You can save a lot of money and take some of the formality usually found at wedding receptions while having a lot of fun. After all it is your party.

 

The choice of music that you decide on does not have to be a band or a DJ. It can be as simple as flute music on a CD player with speakers placed around the area. It is your reception and you can do anything you like. This can always be changed later on into the reception to play something upbeat for dancing if you so desire.

 

The food can be set up on a buffet table with covers. A screen pagoda with the sides drawn back would be great for this, and you could set up nearby seating for the little breaks in between mingling.

 

Finger foods fun appetizers and small desert dishes for sides can be the perfect way to set up a buffet table with all the food that you are serving. A simple pasta salad can be made to add to the feel of the outdoor theme of your reception. The wedding cake may also have a smaller table in this areas all to itself. This will be in the warm season so a few pounds of dry ice could be placed near the cake to keep it from getting too warm. Placed strategically in containers that are decorated to match your theme, these can add to the theme of your reception.

 

This is the time for you and your new husband to enjoy the first few hours of being husband and wife and entertaining as a couple. The wedding reception is your party and it should be exactly how you want it to be.
