Planning a wedding is fraught with endless decisions, who to invite, where to hold the reception, should the ceremony be in a church, what about the invitations, wedding color scheme, flowers and on and on. Take a deep breath and first decide how much money you have to spend as a couple on the wedding.
Gone are the days of spending enormous amounts of money fit to break the bank on a wedding ceremony and reception. Couples are wising up to the fact that the money they save on the wedding can be put to good use by buying a property or having the honeymoon of a lifetime. So long as you can get creative when planning your wedding you can have a fabulous time and still have money to spare.
One of the most economical of all reception venues is the church hall but you will have to check about serving alcohol. Finding a church that will allow you to serve liquor is highly unlikely so check it out. If you have the wedding ceremony in the church it will be very convenient for people to just move to the reception site without any problem. Cuts off the expense of transporting people from the church to the reception hall altogether. Church halls are pretty flexible about reception themes and you can choose anything from Spanish fiestas to Arabian nights as your theme.
Water theme parks are a novel idea and your guests are sure to have loads of fun. A small guest list and lots of children will definitely benefit from this theme. You can have a lovely outdoor wedding party that can last all day if you want. When the reception is a small one you can arrange to transport your guests to the water park and also get concession on a group booking. Make sure you can arrange for your own food and drink to be served inside the park.
Outdoor receptions are great if you plan to marry in the good weather season. Plenty of parks and nature reserves abound for you to choose from. You can also have the
reception in your backyard provided it‟s a small one. This is a great way to save money. You can either get the park venue free of cost or for a very nominal fee. You will have water laid on and nice sheltered spots to set up in. Choose a cowboy theme or a tropical one, make your own music and serve your own food. Everyone of your guests is bound to have a wonderful time.
