A wedding reception can represent a large slice of your budget. Conventionally, couples that are getting married will invite a good number of guests on both sides. This can easily add up. You may therefore wish to decide upon a different type of reception.

Dinner wedding reception is the most common type of wedding celebration and is more formal. But with this, money is also an issue for those couples who wanted to save on their budget. But what others may not know is that there are plenty of choices out there that can suit everybody's taste, budget and availability. Inexpensive wedding receptions are breakfast, luncheon, tea reception, and cocktail party. Each type of wedding reception has its own pros and cons. It pays to think laterally and innovatively - you can impress guests by deviating from the norm and it need not be more expensive.

For the inexpensive types of wedding receptions, light meals consisting of sandwiches, fruits, pasta, and other finger foods along with tea are usually served. Since these meals are done early, everybody gets to drive home early and safely. It is not that stressful and tiring. Although the guests may not be in such an atmosphere to party, guests will be able to interact more with one another and with the newlyweds. Cocktail parties and tea receptions are definitely inexpensive. You may want to have a more intimate celebration - in this way you can invite less guests and make it more special for those that do attend,.

Just remember though, wedding receptions need not be expensive. It can be simple and solemn because it is not the meals or activities that are to be celebrated, but it is the union of the wedding that is given emphasis.
