If you are a DIY bride, congratulations for making it this far! If you hired a wedding coordinator, good for you too because you will be less frazzled on your big day until the wedding reception Ohio. There are tons of checklists available online when preparing for the reception as it has more elements to manage than the wedding ceremony itself. This is a short article to point you to minor details that can make or break your wedding reception.

Take note of food allergies. Choices must be available for your guests who may be allergic to red meat, to seafood, lactose intolerant etc. All dishes have their labels on the buffet table but it may be extra helpful if allergens are indicated such as nuts and dairy.

Every consultant or DIY bride has food suppliers that she can count on for quality and freshness. You will have to k now the headcount in advance, of course, to make sure there is ample fodder. A wedding typically has around 150 guests more or less, but you must be precise. Do not over count as it will add to the total cost unnecessarily. Be sure to include yourself and the groom if you want to eat!

Watch out for guests who show up only at the reception. Chances are, you do not have a photo with them at the ceremony because, well, they are not there. Busy guests most often choose to attend the reception because this is the only part of the day that matches their schedule. Because of this, make sure that you coordinate with your photographer that you want to have a picture taken with these special people. The reception if the final opportunity to have these photos taken.

Music creates just the right ambience and the play list should be carefully selected in advance. There are the tried and true wedding tunes, but you can also be imaginative. Pick something special and meaningful to you for the couples' dance. Make it memorable for you and your guests.

Many couples use a host to greet guests and introduce speeches. A good one can set the tone of the party, so choose well. The person should have a congenial personality and not be too intrusive. They will be responsible for introducing the wedding party so they must know the names. People like to socialize during a wedding so keep the program to a minimum. You will create it together with the host so it is just right and represents you appropriately. Be leery of someone who tells corny jokes.

Bring a simple clutch that matches your wedding gown but is neutral enough to be carried by your groom. If you have a touch up kit, empty it and use that one. Once you are out of the reception area, there will be no opportunity to touch up anyway. The checks and money envelopes guests will give will go in this trusty bag. Make sure that all money related paperwork go to this clutch and always keep an eye on this bag

Prepare flats or slippers and book a massage session before the wedding itself. After all the adrenaline has been used up, fatigue will kick in. The bride and groom will definitely need these after the big day.
