Reception Ideas For Your Wedding Day

July 26, 2010 Leave a Comment

The typical wedding reception is held in a room with a buffet and a DJ playing music with the hope your guests will mingle and all join in and dance. However you may wish to spice up your wedding reception and have something different that will leave your guests talking about your big day for a long time afterwards.

You may wish to take on a themed wedding. This for instance could be set in the style of cowboys and Indians, characters out of a fairytale or your favourite TV stars. You send out invites to all of your friends and family telling them what you expect them to wear to the reception and be sure to tell them this theme is just for the reception and not the wedding itself.

If you don’t think your guests are likely to want to turn up in fancy dress then you may want to just have a theme for the reception itself. This could include decorations, table names, statues and room decorations.

When planning your wedding day you may wish to cover against the unknown and take out wedding insurance. Wedding insurance covers many things including being let down by your venue and you cannot hold your wedding reception.

Wedding Reception Choices – From The Cheap To The All Out

July 21, 2010 Leave a Comment

You can have whatever you want for your big day by way of reception; after all it is your day. Well actually the majority of weddings have to be planned within a budget and this means that sometimes, while you may want that huge marquee erected in the grounds of a stately home, you have to do with a trestle table in your own back garden. When considering your choice of reception, before you book anything it is wise to take out wedding insurance. Wedding insurance would typically cover the venue in case of things going wrong, which if you have spent hundreds of pounds on, may be a lifesaver, financially.

There are many ways that you can have a fantastic reception without breaking the bank. If you have the room in your garden, then why not decorate the patio and garden yourself, with balloons, streamers, banners and outdoor lighting, and save yourself a fortune having to hire somewhere. If you have a favourite local pub consider hiring their room, if you are a regular you may be able to get a discount. Many pubs also serve food so you may be able to get a great deal on the room, food and a DJ thrown in.

Always take out wedding insurance, if you want it of course, before you go ahead and book and pay deposits. You could find deposits and vendors you booked before taking out insurance are not covered.

If you have just got engaged and have set a day for the wedding then you have many things to consider. One of these things, before you get rushing into booking venues and vendors, is wedding insurance.

Wedding insurance typically covers numerous aspects of your big day and can be great peace of mind against the unknown. Check out and compare wedding insurance to get the most suitable deal and level of cover online. Once you have your insurance you can then set about making the major decisions of bookings.

When booking vendors always get a receipt for any deposits that you pay and before paying for anything make sure that you have checked out the small print of any documents you have to sign. Checking out the small print before signing for anything is imperative to ensure that you know what you are getting for your money and what to expect from the vendor. For instance you may book a room to hold the reception but the cost quoted may just be for the room and nothing else. On the other hand it may include a DJ or band.

Taking out wedding insurance before making any bookings and paying any deposits is essential. Anything that you book before taking out insurance and any deposits paid may not be protected if these were undertaken before the insurance policy.

There are numerous things to think about when it comes to planning your wedding and one thing you may wish to consider is wedding insurance. Decorations for your wedding are another thing you have to focus on if you want to make your day special. Here are some ideas for adding a bit of sparkle to your reception.

One way to create a great entrance for your guests on their arrival is to set two large topiaries in the shape of hearts on either side of the entrance to the reception. You could also have smaller topiary and greenery in and around the reception hall and centerpieces on the tables.

Backdrops can create moods in the venue. Pin a large sheet of black material up on a bare wall and attach white LED lights to it, for instance in the shape of a heart or arrange them so they look like stars.

You could add dramatic and romantic lighting to the room by use of candles and candelabras. Black or gold candlesticks on a white linen tablecloth scattered with rose petals and a few large shimmering crystals here and there look great.

It can make sense to cover your wedding with insurance as the venue and reception are typically covered against any mishap. However policies differ so it can pay to shop around and compare wedding insurance policies carefully.
