Your wedding ceremony and reception are the biggest days in your life for you and your beloved. You are full of excitement but be aware of one thing. This day is going to be extremely stressful until the event begins. But it doesn’t have to be horrific.
For this article we will focus on the wedding reception.
Some Tips from Insider Experts
Here are some tips from wedding planners and other insiders who make a living planning and hosting wedding receptions.
- 1. Choosing the Right Venue
- The built-in amenities can make or break an event like a wedding reception. Look for an event that offers its own catering, has outstanding décor and event coordinators to help you along the way.
- 2. Hire an Event Coordinator for the Day of the Event.
- An event coordinator who is there for the day of your reception will be a real lifesaver. You can have a friend do this for you, but a friend doesn’t necessarily know all of the things that are important to check on. A pro will also know how to quickly turn around a potential disaster into an unnoticeable hiccup.
- 3. Have a Realistic Timeline
- When you’re planning your events within the event, be sure to add plenty of buffer time. You know Uncle Leo and how he tends go on and on with his toasts! It is best to have extra time planned after every planned activity. It can take 15 minutes to get everyone’s attention sometimes, too!
- 4. Focus on What Truly Matters
- Everyone is going to throw at you so many fun ideas that you’ll want to include them all. But unless this is an old fashioned 3-day Polish wedding, you have to consider the time involved. So, you must choose which activities are truly the most important and stick with those.
