Wedding Receptions: Extravagant or Simple?
Once you have decided to get married, one decision you should
discuss with your fiancé is what type of wedding both of you
prefer. Weddings can be formal, semiformal, or informal. If you
are both of the same religion and custom or tradition calls for
a specific type of wedding and reception, this will probably not
be a decision you will need to make. But couples of different
faiths or couples with a lot of flexibility will need to decide
whether they want something extravagant or fairly simple.
Formals weddings follow tradition and custom in almost every
aspect. Because of the formality and lavishness of these types
of weddings, many couples like to hire a wedding planner to help
coordinate details and services. Formal weddings usually take
place in churches, temples, synagogues, hotel ballrooms, homes,
or gardens. The following is a list of characteristics of a
formal wedding:
- Traditionally-worded invitations, custom printed
- Professional and elaborate wedding photography
- Lavish sit-down or buffet-style dinner or luncheon
- Professional floral displays
- Live musicians
- Four to twelve bridal attendants (maid or matron of honor,
best man, bridesmaids, one or two flower girls, ring bearer, one
usher for every 50 guests)
- 150 to 400 guests
In a semiformal wedding, some of the formalities are relaxed.
The location will most likely be the same, but it can also take
place is a myriad of other places. Also, the wedding and
reception are usually held in the same place. The main
differences between a formal and semiformal wedding are:
- Semiformal weddings have fewer attendants
- Things like
wedding attire, flowers, and decorations may not
be so traditional or even professionally done
Informal weddings are usually second marriages. This makes for a
very different atmosphere than that of a formal or even
semiformal wedding. Characteristics are:
- Usually take place in daytime
- Appropriate attire is knee- or ankle-length dress or suite,
white or pastel color
- Invitations can be custom designed or even handwritten
- Decorations and floral arrangements are optional (most couples
still decorate with flowers, but do it themselves)
- Hors d'oeuvres, punch and champagne, and wedding cake are
served rather than a full meal
Once you and your fiancé have decided on the formality of your
reception, you can start planning the actual event. Remember to
keep in mind these tips as you search out the services you
want:
- Be sure you and your fiancé have seen the room where the
wedding or reception will take place and write that room name or
description on the contract; you don't want any surprises or
confusion later in the planning
- If you want to have the reception in a restaurant or hotel,
remember that you may have to conform to their schedule, rules,
and menu which allow for little flexibility, although it
relieves you of the planning
- Private homes or gardens give more room for your wants and
wishes, yet it leaves the planning up to you
- Shop around! Interview caterers and location managers, compare
costs, and then decide what you want
- Get all details of the planning in writing with you and whom
you have hired present.
