Cheap Wedding Reception Ideas

The first of these three cheap wedding ideas has to do with the longest part of the wedding, which is the reception. The reception is a time for the guests to express their joy and love to the bride and groom and enjoy each other's company. Due to the fact that weddings have traditionally been held in the evening, dinner is often served to each guest at the reception. The food makes things comfortable, enjoyable, and lively but it comes with great expense. Actually, it may be the most expensive part of your wedding. There is a way to bring down costs and still have a great reception, though. It all depends on the time of the reception. There is no rule that demands your wedding to take place in the evening. That being said you can have your wedding at an earlier time, for example, 1:00 p.m., and your reception at about 2:00 p.m. People do not expect a meal at two o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, it seems totally appropriate to only serve beverages and finger-foods. You still look sophisticated but, obviously, you save money.

How do you get people to come to the wedding and the reception? That question brings us to the second of our cheap wedding ideas.
