After the bells have rung and you are officially married, it’s time to celebrate. Before planning your reception, there are three key details to ensure it goes off without a hitch. Follow this guide to help you as you put together your event.
Plan for Comfort
As you get started, you want to keep your guests’ comfort in mind. Typically, you want to account for the venue, guest age and event length. During outdoor parties, provide ways for guests to remain cool, such as parasols for shade. For your older guests, you need to ensure they have spots to rest; and that the younger have places to play. Finally, consider offering small items, like sandals or shawls, for guests to use to stay comfortable until the end of the night.
Set The Menu
One of the biggest aspects of any reception is the food. As you begin talking with your caterers, consider what meal style is right for your event. While the menu should reflect your tastes, you want to ensure that there is something for everyone. For example, if you have guests with severe allergies, check that there is food that they can eat without needing a doctor. Also, be sure that there is enough food to feed everyone. No one should go hungry at a wedding.
Schedule Entertainment
Finally, start planning your entertainment by deciding on the music. You can book a band or look into wedding DJ services Chatsworth CA. Whoever will be providing the emceeing, you want to go over your schedule with them so they can make announcements, for toasts, etc., at the appropriate time. For times when guests aren’t dancing, you may want to consider renting items like photo booths or lawn games to keep the fun going throughout your venue.
By keeping your guests in mind, you can create an event you will always remember.
