Your Wedding Reception: Some Last Minute Budget Ideas

After everything is said and done, there tends to be little things that come up at the last minute. Here are a few tips on miscellaneous last minute wedding extras you may not have thought about yet:

1. Save money on your thank you cards, by placing an ad thanking everyone on the internet or your personal web page. You can get free web space from many ISPs like yahoo Geocities.
2. Limit the number of tables at your reception party so that you can lower the number of centerpieces and other extras.
3. When offering door prizes as a fun addition to the reception stick to the basics such as special wine bottles with glasses and candles, or gift certificates.
4. Hosting a pig roast is a great way to have fun at your reception at a lesser cost. Some couples will offer their guests free liquor and food for a per person fee.
5. Some couples will have their wedding during their honeymoon trip and share the journey with their friends and family once they get home at a private get together.
6. Instead of throwing rice, you can use bubbles or you can make your own confetti with a three hole punch. You can also opt to use balloons.
7. Host a brunch reception. That will cut some of your prices greatly; especially if you host your reception on a Sunday.
8. Reserving halls for receptions is cheaper on Mondays through Friday and Sundays. Some Holidays like Labor Day are perfect for getting good deals on halls.
