The first thing you need to do when planning your wedding reception is to choose a venue. Find a space that fits your guest list and has the amenities you need for your big day. Once you’ve found a space that works for your wedding reception, it’s time to plan your menu. You can start by choosing a meal that fits in with the theme of your wedding, whether it’s Italian or Mexican food. If you have a specific color scheme in mind, consider working that into your reception menu. Once you have your menu planned out, it’s time to think about decorations and other details. When planning your reception, it’s important to think about the atmosphere you want for your big day. You can choose an elegant setting or a more casual one, depending on your style and preference. If you want a more casual reception, think about whether you’re going to have a cocktail hour before the meal. If so, consider serving appetizers and finger foods instead of an entire meal for this time period. Once everyone is seated at their tables, you can serve the main course. If you have a lot of guests, consider having a buffet to make things easier for everyone. You can also serve family-style meals, where your guests pass food around their tables. If you want an elegant reception, consider having servers bring the food out to each table.
You may also want to consider booking a venue for your wedding reception at least 9-12 months in advance. That's the typical time frame for most venues, but it's not set in stone. If you're looking for something more unique and have your heart set on a particular place, you may be able to get in later. However, don't wait too long or you could miss out on your first choice venue.
