Complications begin with choosing a wedding location. Arrange your reception hall by paying the required deposit and signing a letter of confirmation. If you wish to add guest rooms, you wil need to make those arrangements directly with the hotel or resort. Six months before the reception, decide upon your menu with a few considerations. Do you want to plan a sit-down dinner or a self-serve buffet? For a cocktail reception with hors d'oeuvres, you need to choose a few appetizers that complement each other. After 5:00 p.m., it is de rigeur to serve three pieces of each hors d'oeuvre per guest. You may even want to add a carving station, pasta station or seafood station to round out the menu. Finally, what beverages do you wish to serve before and after dinner? An open bar will please most guests, but such a decision can significantly increase the cost of your reception.
