In planning your reception, you must decide what kind of food you will serve at your wedding. If you plan on having something simple, like cake, and punch, your choices are limited, and less costly. However, if you plan something bigger, like dinner, your selection and costs will change dramatically.
If you are planning a full blown reception with food, dinner, dancing, etc., you will need to plan every detail. Here are some details you will need to decide:
Where will you hold the reception? Reception hall? Hotel? Backyard? Meeting place? Church facility? Picnic shelter? Country club?
What type of dinner will you have? Buffet? Sit down dinner with servers?
What kind of food will you serve?
How much can you spend on food?
