How to Create a Beautiful Cheap Wedding Reception Gretna

The wedding reception is the most expensive part of any wedding. The reception is based on two fees: the cost of the food per person and the cost of the venue. This is generally broken down to one cost per person. This is the cost that you will then need to base your guest list on.

When the cost of the reception is thirty pounds per person and you invite one hundred people then the cost for the reception will only be around three thousand pounds. When the cost per person is fifty pounds and you invite fifty guests the cost for the reception will be only be approximately two thousand five hundred pounds. These are great prices and depending on where you live you can possibly get the cost down this low. This may be a challenge is you live in a major city. However, you can always find a way to get the price that you can afford per person. Here are some suggestions on how to dig up the very best possible prices on a reception.

You can call local restaurants and ask them if they have a space that they will section off for your wedding reception. They will be able to give you a price based on the selection of items that you pull off of their regular menu. For example, you can select one type of salad and two different plates (the invitation to the reception will allow the guest to select their preference) along with two side dishes and a desert. You can ask for a small area to be created for the first dance. The restaurant will usually cater to your needs and may even have the wedding cake be a part of the cost.

Having your wedding reception at a restaurant will save you money on some other items as well, for example, you will not need an MC. You will simply have the quiet restaurant music in the background until the first dance. You can get a wedding reception at a local restaurant to cost less than twenty pounds a plate. Be sure to ask for prices on buffet as well, the cost difference may make this option worth considering.

You can also create a beautiful and cheap reception by having the reception in a garden. You will of course need to find an attractive looking and available garden. You can have loved ones bring dishes and deserts. This will remove the bulk of the cost of the wedding reception. You will then need to rent tables and chairs unless a local church that you or a loved one are affiliated with will loan you some. You can rent plates, eating utensils and linens or you can purchase disposable items for an easy cleanup and an even cheaper cost. Such a reception could get the cost per person down to four or five dollars per person.
