Planning a wedding and want to know where to allocate your spending to get the most bridal bang for your buck? If you have leftover budget after paying for your bridal gown, wedding invitations, flowers, reception site and food, here are a few of the best value wedding details that will make a big impression on your big day.
A dramatic entryway. Minimal decoration can make a maximum impact as guests enter your ceremony or reception site. Drape greenery over a doorway or set an impressive floral arrangement at your escort card table to make an early impact.
Draping. This may be a pricey embellishment, but draping your reception site will immediately guarantee an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
Welcome bags. Especially for destination weddings or weddings for which the couple has reserved a block of hotel rooms, leave a bag of goodies for guests to pick-up when they check in. Include a water bottle, wine or locally brewed beer, something salty, something sweet, and a piece of fruit. Include a welcome note and itinerary of events.
Surprise entertainment. Hire a mariachi band, barbershop quartet or swing band for unexpected entertainment during your cocktail hour to energize the crowd and set a festive tone.
Late night snacks. Whether it’s comfort food from a food truck, a sweet treat or hot coffee bar, providing a late-night snack will be sure to leave a favorable impression on your guests.
Lounge area. If your budget allows you to rent some couches and small tables, setup a comfortable area with lots of pillows and votive candles as an inviting spot for guests to mingle while they take a dance break.
