Examples
of Reception
Themes
No matter what
type of theme that you choose for your reception, you can
always find the right way to represent it. Some special themes
for your reception include but are not limited to:
- Fairy
Wonderland: Decorating
in fairy’s wings, sheer fabrics draped around you, baby’s
breath, moss, and serving fine breads and appetizers
as well as all things beautiful. This theme really lets
the bride bring her childhood dreams to life. Music like
Enya would be nice to listen to for this theme
- Ethnic
traditions: This
theme require that you choose specialty foods and decorations
from the ethnicity of your choice. For example, should
you choose a Scottish theme, you would listen to bag
pipes, dress in the Scottish fashion and do all things
Scottish.
- Mexican
fiesta: This fun theme can have you hitting
a piñata, serving popular Mexican dishes, mixing
a bit of Santa Fe decorative blankets for the walls and
many other things. You can play mariachi music or Spanish
guitars for this theme.
- Holiday
themes: i.e.
Valentines day
- Arabian
Nights: Filling your reception hall with beautiful
linens; letting your bridal party have costumes should
they wish to. You can also serve Arabic foods or appetizers
and pita breads etc. this theme is very versatile and
fun.
- Greek
Mythology: This theme can be geared toward a
particular Greek saga or more popularly, guests can each
come dressed as a particular Grecian of their choice.
Greek foods like fresh fruits, wine, and other edibles
of ancient Greece can be offered.
- Hawaiian: You
can use your imagination to create any Hawaiian fantasy
that you wish. You can give out fresh leis or artificial
ones as wedding favors. You can serve fresh tropical island
fruits such as pineapples and serve those cute tropical
drinks with decorative umbrellas etc. Wherever your mind
takes you.
- Disney
- The
Wild West: This theme can be as fun as you want.
You can set up your reception area to look like an old
saloon. You can have dancers give a burlesque show etc.
You can do all kinds of fun things with this theme. You
can also serve easy to create entrees like meatloaf or
more expensive steaks etc. As long as you stick with
your theme (leave out the shrimp cocktail) you can have
a great time.
When it comes
to themes, the possibilities are endless. Coming up with
them can be much of the fun. After you have chosen your theme,
you can brainstorm ideas to expand upon it for the decorations
and foods.
The themes that
have been touched up on here were designed to be as easy
as possible, but they can be as intricate as you want.
Outdoor
Reception
Hosting your reception outdoors can be a great deal cheaper and a lot more
fun for you and your guests. When you host your reception outdoors you have
a lot of options as to how you want things to be.
The only downside
to doing this is whether or not the weather conditions will
permit it. Because of this your reception and its success
is often at the hands of Mother Nature. Other than that,
it can be the best decision that you could make.
Outdoor receptions give you an endless supply of ideas and freedom in how your
reception will be handled. The best thing is that you can host an outdoor reception
at a hall or beautiful grounds, or you can do so in your own back yard.
If your own yard
permits it, it would be best to do it here because it is
a relaxed atmosphere and you need not worry about many of
the small details that come in when using public grounds
(i.e. music).
There are many ways that you can make an outdoor reception easy to plan, cheaper
to pay for, and a great deal of fun. Of course, there are small formalities
that go with it as well.
I have developed
a to-do list for you as well to help you to make the most
out of your outdoor reception.
