Part 1
Planning your wedding reception may be the most important part of the wedding preparations. Besides the basic details about the ceremony site, music, photographs, videos and decorations, planning your wedding reception is a top priority. It all begins with deciding on the location of the reception: is it going to be indoors or outdoors? One important factor when planning your wedding reception is weather and the season. If you want an outdoor event, you'll have to consider the possibility of rain ruining your plan, therefore, keep a hidden ace up your sleeve just in case.
The first thing to do when planning your wedding reception is to set the date, before you actually start looking for locations. Keep in mind that many sites are booked a year, or even two in advance. Then, as I have already pointed out the season is crucial, particularly if you're on a tight budget. Planning your wedding reception in winter, at the end of January for instance, will save quite a bit of cash, or bring you a discount. In some cases, planning your wedding reception requires you to choose between Saturday and Sunday as the most convenient days of the week; sometimes Sunday is less expensive.

Proper Planning for a Wedding to Remember
Most people dream of making their wedding day the happiest one in a life time, but before you're actually there, you'll have to make all the arrangements necessary in order to be 100% satisfied. Planning a wedding to remember is not easy at all. On the contrary, there are so many details to think of and aspects to cover, that you may feel far away from any romantic manifestation. Yet, once you get use to the idea that there's a lot of work involved in planning a wedding to remember, you can move on and actually start to see results. Here are a few tips you may consider when you're planning a wedding to remember, regardless of whether it is yours or someone's dear to you.
First of all, a romantic event of such proportions starts with the least romantic aspect of all. If you're planning a wedding to remember, you'll need to establish your budget first and foremost. Who is to take the financial responsibility? Usually the families of both the bride and the groom make contributions to help their children succeed in planning a wedding to remember. You'll have to meet, talk and count what each will bring to the table. Once you have established the budget, you can then move on to planning the wedding to remember! However, if you still don't make ends meet, you'll have to think about other solutions; loans and credit cards are not the best option, since they'll delay other plans for you such as buying a house, or having children.
If you're planning a wedding to remember, keep in mind the following aspects so that you don't have a surprise with the final bills. First of all, I should start by telling you that the highest costs are those for the site, rentals, food, beverages and cake. Furthermore, when planning a wedding to remember, you need to allot at least ten percent of the total budget for each of the following: photography, music, flowers, attire and limo service, if to be used. Should you spend more on certain items along the way, you're still on the right track of planning a wedding to remember, and you'll just have to spend less in some other areas. For instance, if you want a delicious gourmet dinner, you may cut some expenses from the flower arrangements and make the latter simpler.
Moreover, you may be planning a wedding to remember, and consider ways to save money at the same time. You'd make a big mistake to think that the two elements exclude each other. First of all a lovely, yet bargain location, would be perfect. It may be a garden, a beach, or some other affordable place. If you're planning a wedding to remember indoors, winter for instance is a less expensive season. However, try to avoid the holidays. The flower arrangements can look gorgeous, if you look for those that are in bloom at your wedding time. Also, you'll save some money. If your idea of planning a wedding to remember includes some great decorations, keep in mind that these come for higher costs than simpler ones.
Here’s wishing you a very joyous special wedding day, and a long, healthy and happy marriage!
