The Reception

Alright, it’s time for one of the major questions: do I have any say in the reception? Well I believe that this question revolves around a few things. First, are you having a reception because this wouldn’t be kind of pointless if not? Second, are you having a traditional reception (the grooms family takes care of it)? Third, what do your future in-laws think about the whole situation? Communication is the key to this step in planning your wedding. If your future family wants to do the reception themselves, then you don’t have to worry about it, but if they want your opinion or help, give it to them! What better way to get close to his parents then helping them plan? If nothing else, you get some quality time with them.

What you wear to the reception is a toss up as well, in my opinion anyway. I think there are many different possibilities that are all unique and totally up to the bride. Do you wear your dress part of the time? All the time? At all? Once you figure that part out then the rest will come into play. If you change at any time for the reception, what color should you wear? At the weddings I have been to the brides all wore white or cream, but I think a little color is fun and adds a little personal flare. What clothing should you wear: a dress, skirt, pants, or something else? That, I believe, is completely up to you! Be unique!
