Although the ceremony is the most important part of the day, the reception requires the most strategic planning and caution when spending. This is the couple and their families "thank you" to all who shared their big day. It may be a simple yet elegant cake and champagne toast or a lavish theme party with a sit down dinner and dance. Either way, it is the first party the newlyweds will give together and the Greeley Wedding Guild will make sure it reflects their taste and creates a proper send-off for their new life together.
RECEPTION LINE
Some people are only interested in greeting the bride and groom and sharing their kind wishes for a happy life before they depart. A reception line allows introductions of guests who don't know both the bride and the groom. This is also a personal opportunity to thank people for attending (this can also be at the church or site of the ceremony).
FOOD
Oh my goodness,
is it a serve-yourself-buffet or a sit-down-dinner with precise seating
for each guest? The cake is connected to fertility rituals in many
cultures! It is yet another reflection of the mood you've designed,
an artistic creation that must taste as good as it looks. After months
of tasting samples from bakeries and catering services, you're ready
to share your choices with your guests. The best man and maid of honor
bless your union with a personal toast sharing wishes and secrets causing
a flood of memories to rise in the minds of your family and friends.
MEMORIES
A table overflows with gifts selected from the registry of items you've identified. The guestbook holds autographs of those you hold dear. Photographs capture special moment for you to treasure. A videographer records clever wedding wishes from attendees. And documents the graceful capture by the woman who pulls in the bride's bouquet symbolizing she'll be the next single female to wed and then zooms in on the groom as he removes the bride's garter and throws it up for grabs while all wait to see if the man who catches it will be the next single male to take a bride!
MUSIC
You've auditioned DJs, bands, trios, and debated between instrumental background music verses your favorite dance tunes. Will it appeal to the diverse crowd gathered? Now is the time to roll it out and enjoy the decisions you have made.
SEND OFF TO A NEW BEGINNING
Distribution of birdseed, bubbles, flower pedals, sparklers, etc. by younger siblings and cousins to all attendees provides excitement while sending the newlyweds off as the celebration ends and their new life as husband and wife begins!
