Tips: Planning Your Wedding Reception Menu

Your wedding reception menu can be as basic or as extravagant as you wish. It can also become very costly if you do not look into various options. Before making quick decisions, consider the following tips to help you plan you reception meals.

Decide if you will include table service or a buffet style before you plan your wedding reception menu. Having servers generally allows wedding guests a choice between two meats and are given a couple of sides of vegetables with a salad. Where as with a buffet, many more food options are given. Note that both types of food service can both be expensive, depending on the foods that are served. Chicken is a lot less cheaper compared to beef. Expect to pay a fee per person when it comes to your wedding reception menu; regardless if it is a buffet or table service.

Choose if you will have the wedding reception menu put together by the reception venue or a caterer. Ask for references from a few caterers before making any agreement. Speaking of agreements for a wedding reception menu, make sure that you get a signed contract from the venue or caterer in case they no show.

Stick within your budget when planning your wedding reception menu. If you cannot afford more expensive per head options then consider planning your wedding reception menu during a cheaper time of the day such as lunch time when meals are less costly. If you cannot afford an actual wedding reception menu, server appetizers such as meatballs or even deli cold cut trays with buns to save on costs.

Tips Before You Buy an eBay Wedding Dress

With the popularity of eBay, wedding dress items and other nuptial items sell very well on the auction website. If you are considering the option to buy off the auction site then there are a few things to first think about.

  1. Sizing - Various gown brands may differ in sizes. You may fit in a certain size with one but may not in another. Tip: Get the eBay wedding dress measurements before you commit to buy the item. Also you must get fitted by a seamstress to find out what your gown measurements are. Go to your local seamstress and have you measurements taken.

  2. Dress Looks Different In Person Than In Pictures - Yep, it happens.. we've all bought something by a picture only to have it arrive in our mailboxes and look a lot different. Tip: Only buy an eBay wedding dress that has more than a couple of pictures. Look for items on the auction site that has pictures that provide close up photos of wedding gowns, as well as ones that show the whole front and back of the dress.

  3. Paying More Than What The Dress Is Worth - Any seller can slap a price up on an eBay wedding dress and claim that it retails for a certain price. Before buying, research the dress online. Type in the brand of the eBay wedding gown in your favorite search engine and find out as much information as you can. You can also talk to gown vendors and ask what the said eBay wedding dress is worth.

  4. Pay The Insurance - The insurance may not seem worth it; however, if the eBay dress is damaged in mail transit then you will be a lot happier if you did. Optional mail insurance is a must. If the eBay wedding dress is damaged when it arrives at your door then your mail carrier will reimburse you for the cost of the gown.

  5. Return Policy - Not all, but there are some sellers of eBay wedding dress items who will stand behind their product if you are unhappy with your purchase. Many do not as the eBay wedding dress could be damaged and thus, not able to be resold. Luckily, you might run into a seller who will give you X amount of days to return the gown. Check out more than a few power sellers for wedding gowns. You may be able to return the wedding gown, minus the shipping fee and be reimbursed for your money.

Winter Wedding Favor - Snowflake Theme

The perfect winter wedding favor can create the perfect look for your nuptials. Most people scoff at the thought of planning a wintry wedding. Why? Because weddings in December and January are less common months to get hitched; however, a wintry wedding allows brides to be the chance to have a less common theme by using stylish snowflakes.

Snowflakes as your Winter Wedding Favor

Snowflakes as your winter wedding favor add elegance. They also go along very well with all winter wedding colors. There are a wide variety of products available to suit your needs and to fit your wedding décor. From candles to stationary snowflake items to place all around your wedding reception tables, the possibilities are endless.

Buying Winter Wedding Favor Items

Choose winter wedding favor items such as candles that center on snowflakes as your winter wedding favor theme. You can choose candles that are engraved with snowflakes or holders that are inscribed. Stick to the colors or white and silver to complement the colors of you wedding. If you worry about the fire hazards of using flame candles as your winter wedding favor, you can buy flameless ones that last days on battery use. Heck, this type of candle even looks real. Most flicker just like real ones. The only downside is that they cost a lot more than traditional candles; however, you can always keep this winter wedding favor for holiday decorations in your home after your nuptials. If you insist on using real candles then buy ones that state that they last 4 hours or more. You don’t need all of your candles burning out before your wedding reception is over. There are also oil burning candles that you can consider, they will burn a very long time but the options for these are somewhat limited. This is where you may wish to purchase snowflakes and arrange them around the candle.

Purchase small mirror squares, which are also known as mirror tiles, to put under your winter wedding favor snowflake candles. These mirrors will reflect the candle light during your reception to add to the overall atmosphere. Buy them in bulk as it is much cheaper.

Consider using snowflake or glitter confetti to add to your winter wedding favor idea. After setting up candles with your mirrors, you can sprinkle the reflective confetti around and on your mirror-snowflake candle centerpieces. If you choose white mixed with silver flecks, it will resemble snow for your wedding reception. Everything that you need is found below to create the perfect winter wedding favor centerpieces. Follow setup directions at the bottom of this page.




Put Your Winter Wedding Favor Items & Centerpieces Together

Place the mirror tile on the center of the table. Sprinkle the silver glitter a little on the mirror and around it. Take the larger flameless snowflake candle and put it directly on the center of the mirror. Place the smaller candles that you have chosen above around the centerpiece. Choose either the hot cocoa winter wedding favor above or the snowflake bookmarks and place them above where the dinner place settings will be.
