The wedding reception site
is the first time you formally receive your relatives and friends as a married
couple. Properly planned, it becomes one of the most joyous parties you and
your groom will ever host. It can be as simple and demure as
champagne and hors d'oeuvres, or encompass an elegant five-course dinner and
dance. Selecting the wedding reception site location really
depends on how many guests you are inviting. Your wedding reception can be
staged nearly anywhere: on a yacht, a beautiful hotel, a restaurant, a loft, a
country club, etc. If you're being married in a season and locale noted for
good, reliable weather, there may be a lovely garden or arboretum available.
Also check out some of the restored historical mansions for some reception
sites ideas, they make delightful fairy-tale backdrops for a wedding feast.
Whatever you decide, know that the services of a professional banquet facility
or caterer can greatly enhance and expedite the planning of your wedding
reception site. Once you've decided the setting you would prefer, the
estimated number of guests and your financial resources, you're ready to begin
interviewing for reception sites and banquet halls and caterers. Reserve your wedding reception site facility well in advance and promptly pay any necessary deposit. Visit the reception site and design a suitable layout. Decide also whether you'll have a formal or semi-formal receiving line. Consider grouping furniture to stimulate conversation without obstructing traffic flow. There should always be one table designated for the wedding party and one table for the parents. Seating arrangements at the bride's table are as follows: bridal couple in the center, maid of honor at the groom's left, best man at the bride's right. Seat the other attendants, alternating men and women, as space provides. At a sit-down event, the order of service should be bride, groom, maid of honor, other attendants, parents and guests. Once all have been served, the best man presents the traditional toast to the bridal couple. Cake-cutting comes after dinner. The bridal couple will cut the first slice and share it. Then the caterer's staff finishes serving while the newlyweds visit with guests. The last wedding reception ritual, before the bridal couple leave, is the bride's tossing of her bouquet and the groom's flinging of the garter. Finally, you and your groom will leave the reception site for your honeymoon, no doubt followed by rice raining down upon you and your car or limousine, bringing with it wishes for fertility, prosperity and happiness. |
