My favorite party ideas.

In four months we will be having our wedding reception. I though that you might like ideas on how to have a reception/wedding on a budget.


1. CALL AROUND! I can't stress this enough.
2. Use an outdoor public park for the wedding. Most parks are under $75.00 ( I rented it for $25 for four hours).
3. Rent a hall that doesn't require that you cater your event. Knights of Columbus haves are great. (our hall will hold 700 people and we have it until 2am) We paid $1400.00 with full use of the kitchen and bar.
4. I have asked if people would be willing to help with the cooking. We are having a summer fun reception so we are having a nacho bar for the kids and sloppy joes and spagetti.
5. Check your local stores. My local Kroger is giving me a discount because I will be ordering my flowers, meat, veggies, and fruit from them.
6. I had my dress made so that saved me a $1000.00 dollars.
7. I bargined with the woman that married us so I ended up only paying $50.00 (she charges 200 normally)
8. I am doing a papmered chef party for the bridal party for me. This way those want to by gifts can. Other than that we are asking for cash and gift cards to finish up the house.
9. You can buy cakes at your local sams that are beauiful.


This is just soe of what I have come accross. I will let you know know as I go.
