Optimize bar.
The vast majority of weddings do not need a complete range of alcoholic beverages. Red and white wine, champagne and basic cocktails (like "mintini") will fully satisfy the tastes of your guests.

Take the basis of one dish.
It is quite normal (and very economical) to offer guests one main course, instead of giving a choice of several. Provide a light "vegetarian" option in case if some of your guests don't eat meat.

Limit the amount of food.
Please note that the reception is not the main thing in your holiday, such as in an intimate dinner in a five star restaurant, so your menu might include appetizers, main course and dessert (as the latter can make even a wedding cake).

Organize a mini-buffet.
If you want to organize an after-party, take care of refreshing beverages, light buffet snacks or Breakfast items. Plan participation-thirds, or quarters of the total number invited to the wedding.

The one and the other.
Can't agree to invite to the wedding live music or a DJ? The musicians are very suitable for cocktail part, and a DJ for dancing.

Check the shape of the garment.
A large portion of DJ's and wedding bands wear tuxedos or suits, but it is better to talk about this issue separately to avoid surprises. For less formal events, like beach parties, you can ask them to wear something less formal. Well, so you wouldn't have outshone their outfits, the bride, she needs to pick up the perfect dress — for example, http://sacuradress.ru/all-colection/korotkie (http://sacuradress.ru/all-colection/korotkie).

Assemble the best group.
If you want to invite a cover band, keep in mind that for perfect sound, you need at least seven people. Male and female vocals, lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, trumpet or saxophone and a drum set is a versatile combination for any song.

Make a guide for musicians.
If there are songs you want to hear necessarily, make a list beforehand for your band or DJ. The music that you just do not want to hear? Make a special "black list".

Make soft break to break for food.
If your musicians do not take a break for a while, while the guests are busy eating, they should take care of the visitors by rotating the microphone down and choosing the least energetic song.

Stylish departure.
In advance ask the floor Manager whether to throw rice and rose petals, and burning Bengal lights. When the time comes out, somebody will attract visitors and will hand out the appropriate props, and then say some warm words of farewell.

Be thankful.
Have someone responsible, for example, the best man, to distribute gratuity envelopes at the end of the party. You need to consider all the people who worked for the wedding, including the food suppliers, the staff at the reception (if remuneration is not included in the total score), cleaners and limo drivers.
