Reception Decor

Amanda, on July 31, 2019 at 10:25 Posted in Before the wedding 0 14

Ok ladies, our wedding is less than three months away and feel like i'm forgetting things for the reception.

We have: all table linens, tableware, cake stand, table numbers, centerpieces, ceiling decor but I feel like I'm missing something and honestly can not remember. What did/are everyone use to decorate their reception.

    Seating chart, name place cards, menus, napkins, table for favours or table for your cake/dessert, card box, guestbook (or in my case a photo guestbook!), little signs perhaps for your bar or a mr and mrs signature drink, small backdrops, decorations for other surfaces (bar, dj, favour table), fairy lights or candles for mood, high chairs or boosters for children!

    Maybe map out a drawing of the Reception Floor Plan and mark places where you want decor to be to figure out any blank spaces that you may add decor into. Or if you are forgetting something Smiley smile

    Well they aren't required in order to have a successful wedding - but there's no harm in creating a new discussion asking the community for some ideas and if you like one a lot then why not?

    You have most of the main things, and others have mentioned some you could be missing; cake topper, guest book, card box, in memory of, and signage for gifts, guestbook, hashtag, seating chart, favours etc.

    Are you planning on having a backdrop for your head table (if you're having one)? It's definitely not necessary but may be a nice touch.

    I did minimal decorating.. I did put some pictures of us around though - a few of our favourites from our engagement shoot, and one of us and our dogs. Do you have any signs? like for table seating? We framed our hashtag as well and put that down... Guest book and sign that went along with that.
