So much time is spent planning and preparing for your wedding day. Your ceremony is important since without it, there is no marriage. But the wedding reception is the one part of your day that will take more time to plan and cost more money than anything else.

• So much time is spent planning and preparing for your wedding day.
Your ceremony is important since without it, there is no marriage.
But the wedding reception is the one part of your day that will take
more time to plan and cost more money than anything else.
• You and your guests will spend more time at the wedding reception
than during any other part of the day. So you should make it the
most memorable event possible. The best way to ensure that you
plan for everything that you'll need to do for your reception is to get
organized with a timeline and checklist. The worse possible thing
that could happen is to forget an item that is important to your
wedding reception. For instance I have seen brides that did not do a
bouquet toss because they forgot to buy a toss bouquet and did not
want to give away their own.

2. • Two of the most important things that you'll need to decide on for
your day are the color scheme and the guest list. You will need to
decide on both for the ceremony as well as the wedding reception
but it has more of an impact on the latter. Your reception will be full
of elements that need to flow together and having a color scheme
will help that process. Some of these items include:
• Table linens
• Chair covers
• Centerpieces
• Favors
• Wedding cake

3. • I think that looking at photos of other receptions
can give you an idea of how you want the decor
for your event to look.
• Your guest list matters more for the reception
since catering fees are per person and can get
quite expensive. Also you will need to make sure
that you have an estimated guest list before you
even pick your reception venue. You might find a
beautiful ballroom that can accommodate 125
people only to find out later that you'll need room
for 175, so estimate your guest count first.

4. • Speaking of food, you'll need to decide what
kind of food that you will want served to your
guests. Even if you have the most extravagant
setting for your reception, nothing will make up
for horrible food. By the time your guests get to
the reception they'll be more than ready to eat.
So you need to make sure that you have a food
tasting and that the caterer that you decide upon
can make the kind of food that you enjoy.
• A wedding reception is a huge event that should
be carefully planned. So take the time to
research your wedding reception options.
