Tips To Liven Up Your Wedding Reception

September 20, 2010 Leave a Comment

The majority of people will have been to a wedding where guests sit and never talk to those sat at the side of them. If you want to ensure that your wedding reception does not get stale then you may wish to consider the following tips and implementing them into your wedding.

When you put the place cards on the tables with the names of the guests you may wish to write something about the guest sat to their right on the card. Of course you would have had to go round your guests and find something interesting about them beforehand, but this can be a great way for your guests to break the ice.

You may wish to encourage your guests to turn to the person seated on their left or right and ask them “have you ever…”. When sending out the wedding invitations you will have to state this of course. This means that people will start a conversation as soon as they sit down and this breaks the ice.

These tips may help you to get the best out of your wedding reception by trying to liven things up a little. However if you want to protect your wedding against things that are out of your control which may spoil your wedding, then you need to consider something like wedding insurance. For just a small premium it can financially protect you against a number of disasters that may occur before, during or after the big day.

Have You Booked your Dream Reception For Your Wedding?

August 6, 2010 Leave a Comment

You may have spent as much time looking for the perfect wedding reception as you have looking for your wedding dress or where to go on honeymoon. But have you thought of protecting the reception with wedding insurance?

You may have wanted to book that much coveted banquet hall for your wedding reception and be very happy that you have managed to do just that, even at some considerable expense. So now you are able to get on with the rest of the planning and then sit back and relax and wait for the big day. Wrong, while you may have booked it, there is always the slim possibility of being let down by your choice of venue. What if the place caught fire and there was considerable damage? What if the venue finds they have overbooked the room on that day and you lose out? What might happen if your guests cannot reach the venue due to adverse weather conditions such as flooding?

If you had taken out wedding insurance it may typically cover all of the above events and many more. While you may not get your ideal choice of venue, you will at least not lose out financially. Check out cover, it typically gives you a great deal more protection than just for the venue.

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.
