may look cheap, but if the venue is well decorated and a good mC and entertainment the reception will be just as fab
I agree
yeah

lively reception
outdoor venues, with lounge seats etc is grt for this kind of reception
I think so too
a lot of socialisation can take place
I agree totally

make sure you indicate that its a cocktail reception on the invitation so persons dont attend expecting a full course dinner
if the distance between the ceremony and the reception is far, the cocktail reception might not be such a great idea
true
cool 🙂
it is said that persons normally drink more at cocktail reception so even though the food cost is down the liquor cost is up
😦
the pieces are smaller so you take longer to get a belly ful
it wld be cheaper still
have the reception in the morning to cut on cost
definitely a trend for 2012
indeed
definitely a trend
if it doesnt save me money then I am not interested in it
🙂
im interested when it saves money
barn receptions
I guess its best to work with what you want whether its trending or not
true
true true
Before you can get to the fun stuff like decorations, music, and food,
