Wedding Reception Checklists – Planning Wedding On A Budget
Sunday, August 29th, 2010
It is highly important you create a wedding reception checklist. In this list you shall be noting the timings for certain events of your reception. The MC, wedding director or the wedding planner and the DJ all should be handed a copy of the checklist. By doing this you will under most circumstances have a smooth wedding reception.
From where can you arrange a wedding reception checklist? Well that should not be a problem at all. Theknot.com is a good reference site here. Numerous types of wedding checklist can be downloaded from this site.
The download is free but registration is required which is also free. You can also read two books on the topic that have been written by the website creator himself. Just do the step entailed there properly and your wedding will be well organized.
Your checklist can be written by yourself. The requirements for a wedding reception can be monstrous, so just start with the general list and then work your way up to more important things. You can start listing like -
§ 1st Hour – guest arrival, cocktail hour, receiving line, photos
§ 2nd Hour – first dance, toasts, candid photos, meal
§ 3rd hour – dancing & cake cutting, groom & bride leave, more photos
Thereafter when you sit down and finalize more things the list may shorten or widen as details increase. The final list should have full names of the VIP guest, wedding party and special invitees. Further a comprehensive list of the music that is going to be played and at what time the DJ should change the music to suit that section of the reception, particularly when the couple dances. Also playing background music will present a nice ambiance when the guest arrives.
The time frame for organizing any open bar during reception should be kept tight or else other function could get affected. And also as the clock ticks over every drink ordered will charge you in $$$.
Before the rehearsal dinner, the MC, wedding director or the wedding planner and the DJ all should be handed a copy of the checklist along with that the person who will be responsible for overseeing the proceedings of the reception should have a copy too.
A fine printed wedding reception checklist would read as following:
__:__ pm – guests start to arrive (fifteen min)
__:__ pm – Family and wedding party pictures (twenty min)
__:__ pm – Receiving Line – (ten min)
__:__ pm – Open bar cocktail, Hors d’ oeuvres served.
Thereafter …….
This ensure smooth running of the wedding reception.
The wedding reception checklist should also the the following things noted for instance seating arrangements, table and hall decorations, cake been brought over (few elaborate cakes would have to be assembled at that place) sound check, mike check, DJ system check – you ask someone to professionally decorate the facility for your special occasion.
If taken seriously then a wedding reception checklist is important for you and your wedding reception. Whether you take care of the wedding yourself or then have a MC volunteer or even a professional wedding planner, you are advised to make and keep a checklist of all things so that you know what’s happening and when it should take shape. Call the vendors, caterers and facility care taker well in advance to see if the arrangements have put in place on time. This is checklist is your personal guide.

Tips On Planning A Cheap Wedding
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Some might find this hard to believe, but planning a cheap wedding is quite easy to do. It’s also great fun and can be really unique and creative too! So if you’re planning a cheap wedding in the future, here are some great tips and ideas for you…
1. Cheap Wedding Locations. Planning a cheap wedding location is not impossible. In fact, you can have wedding ceremonies in a variety of places that are completely free. The local park is a great example. There’s usually no cost to go to a public park, and planning a cheap wedding ceremony there doesn’t usually require any permits or other fees either. Double check with your local city authorities just to be sure first of course.
The Beach is another free place to have a wedding ceremony, as is many churches for that matter. Other ideas include: Having your ceremony at a family member’s home, or having the ceremony in your own back yard. If the wedding couple loves nature, it may be free or very inexpensive to have the wedding ceremony at a local zoo, nature reserve, or flower conservatory too.
2. Cheap Wedding Receptions. Planning a cheap wedding reception is not too difficult either. One way to keep the reception super cheap is to make it a pot luck meal. You can have the guests each bring their own dish, and this could be requested in place of having them buy you wedding presents if you’d like.
If you’d rather not ask guests to bring food for your wedding reception, then ask a few family members to get together and cook the food as a wedding gift to you.
Planning a cheap wedding reception should also involve choosing cheap or free locations for the reception too. Try to make the wedding reception co-incide with the ceremony in some way. If you plan to have your wedding ceremony in the gazebo at the park for instance, then plan for the reception to be a barbecue or picnic style event in that same park.
Another easy and cheap example of course, is if you have the wedding ceremony in your home. Then you can plan to have the reception in your home as well, or out in the backyard if the weather is nice. If you’re planning a cheap wedding on the beach, an excellent reception idea is to have a beach party afterwards… bonfire and all.
3. Cheap Wedding Decorations. When planning a cheap wedding you’ll of course need to keep the cost of decorations down as much as possible. You don’t have to go without them completely though, you just need to improvise.
Instead of buying expensive flowers for instance, try decorating with balloons and streamers instead. Go to a local craft or fabric store and buy a few spools of pretty ribbon, then tie the balloons together with strips of the ribbon done up in a bow. Also tie the ribbons into bows themselves, then tape the ribbon bows around for decorations by themselves.
Another idea for creating cheap table decorations is to simply collect some pretty rocks. Wash them clean, then arrange them creatively on tables or other surfaces. You could even paint the rocks to match your desired wedding color theme.
Here’s a great idea if you’re planning a cheap wedding that will have an outdoor, picnic or barbecue style reception: buy pretty paper plates and napkins instead of using expensive china dishes.
As you can see with just these few ideas, planning a cheap wedding can actually be a lot of fun!

Planning for Wedding Flowers
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
As you plan your wedding, you pray that it could turn out as beautiful as wedding flowers. Wedding flowers not only bring beauty to the wedding but also bring soul and life. Your wedding comes alive with the right combination of flowers and this is undisputed. Flowers can be used to decorate the venues. They can also be used as the centre piece for the reception and even to decorate the vehicles you will be using for transportation. Flowers will be carried by the flower girl; and she has a way of bringing out the gentle nature of the love ceremony for marriage. Flowers will serve a special purpose no matter where you choose to place them. There are so many kinds of flowers available that you can work with. However, before you choose the flowers, have in mind all the places you want to have flowers at. You will then have to consider whether you want all your flowers to be alive or to include some artificial ones. Artificial flowers although not very popular ensure that the look you want is maintained in a convenient manner.
For example, when decorating vehicles that will carry the bride and groom, it is vital for you to consider that live wedding flowers cannot serve the purpose as well as those that are not real. Also, where you are decorating the roofs of a venue, it is easier to use the artificial ones and make them look real. It is essential that you strike a balance between the live flowers and the artificial ones. Near the guests, make sure that live flowers are prominent. If they want to reach out and smell them, they can do so easily. As the wedding couple, you will have to decide on the wedding flowers that you adore most. For example, roses make for favorites to many and, there is magic in roses. If you love roses, know the colors you wish to have. Red roses mark the splendor of love. Pink roses are gentle and they keep the mood light and awesome. No color of roses will disappoint you. Have a variety of colors and this will play a huge role in making the feel of the flowers natural.
Wedding flowers can also be included in a variety. However, seek to achieve harmony by not including too many kinds. To show purity and grace, you can use Cala lilies. They help keep the mood calm and, no matter whether you use them in church or reception venue, they will achieve their goal. As you shop for flowers, have a certain budget in mind. Flowers can prove to be pretty expensive but with the right planning, you will have a good budget to work with. Artificial flowers are cheaper but, do not use them exclusively; let people have something real to admire. Apart from the love the couple will bring, flowers will also shower you with a special kind of love which is worthwhile and magical. Like flowers, your love will bloom for the world to admire.
