Send out cards with the invitations.
Especially if you plan on visiting a wedding or getting married during the holidays, ask your prospective guests to reserve for your event some days in advance. Ideally – send email wedding invitations at least four months, to the people you really want to see, sure could come.

Send invitations with caution.
Be prepared for the fact that 80 to 90% of those you invited will actually come. (The smaller the list of potential guests, the more likely that they will accept the invitation, because most likely you will be to invite those closest to you.)

Plan out the space.
Check whether there is enough floor space for tables (count about 10-15 square metres per person – if you have round tables for 6-10 people). Make sure that the dance floor is also quite spacious (at the rate of 4-5 square meters per person).

Consider a fallback position.
Planning the celebration under the open sky? Do not put yourself in the vagaries of the weather, stock up on ample awning or choose a location with the possibility of moving the event indoors in case of inclement weather. The same should be done and when planning wedding decorations (http://amelie-decor.com/): do not lift the bulbs, replace them with bright tape, the temperature rose to 30 degrees — to give up ice sculptures and chocolate fountains set... etc. in the same spirit.

Ask for help.
Even if you are strictly against hiring a wedding planner, a day of celebration you will need sensible professional who will help guests take their seats during the reception, toasts and organises going to keep their finger on the pulse. Check with the management of the hall that you rented for the wedding, if they provide this service. If not, you can always hire an independent organiser on the day.

Don't let the seams to get out.
If possible, reserve a separate cocktail area and close the reception hall for early guests. Neither you nor guests should not see the preparations and cleaning up in the last second of the game – this will create a sense of anticipation of a holiday. And your photographer will be able slowly to make beautiful pictures of the room while the room is not crammed, the crowd of guests.

Prepare small Souvenirs.
Stylish souvenir does not have to be expensive. Eco-friendly vases look elegant when wrapped in gas cloth and decorated paper strips on which printed with a beautiful font of your names. Fill their tiny meringue is a budget, but sweet. You can make them yourself or order from a supplier.

In daylight.
Many places charge more for events held in the evening. If you want to make a holiday in the open air, establishing him at lunchtime, you can cut or eliminate expenses associated with lighting installation.

Narrow tables.
If you put the guests at long tables in the family style dinner, which will be no wider than 36 inches, you can not think about decorating an "empty" space in the center of the table. Guests will be enough space, but to communicate with each other it will be much easier.
