Wedding Reception Types

You have the guy, the ring and the dress, but where to have the party? There are so many different wedding reception types it can be impossible to decide. Don’t get down or overwhelmed with all the choices. Some may say that you have dreamed of this day all your life, but if that isn’t you there is another way to pick the type of reception great for you.

The first way to narrow down all the wedding reception types out there is to think about how many people you are inviting. You may have always dreamed about the type of wedding reception that is on the grass in your parent’s backyard on a sunny spring day, but what if you are inviting 150 people? Will their yard be big enough? If you have been dreaming of having it in the ballroom of a grand hotel check out how much they charge a head for dinner; can you fit it into your budget? If you are inviting a very limited number of guests consider the type of wedding reception held on a boat or a cozy restaurant.

Another way to pick your perfect wedding reception type is to think about what inspires you when you think of a wedding. If you turn to ideas of roses then an English garden party type of wedding reception may be just the thing. You can take a single idea, like a Tiffany blue box, and build an entire day around it from your bridesmaid’s dresses to your cake.

If you are still searching for ideas for your wedding reception type think about location. Do you want a fairytale city wedding, a destination wedding, a country inn or an Italian getaway? The location will help structure the wedding reception type that is right for you.

Brides come in all shapes and sizes, so do wedding reception types. Just remember it is your day. In the end you may have a general budget dictating the wedding reception type and leave all the details up to your mom. You may have a monochromatic orange wedding on a lake in the sunset of an August day or a skyline ball at the top of a New York City landmark. The wedding reception type you choose is up to you; look in magazines, watch wedding shows on TV or just take some time and think it out. You will find the wedding reception type just as you found the groom, and that probably wasn’t easy either, but now you are in love.
