Receptions differ depending on the time of day they are held. Early afternoon receptions typically feature light lunch or brunch food, middle afternoon receptions have smaller munchies like canapes, fruit, cheeses, and various other light appetizers, and later receptions can have full scale dinners or heavy h’or dourves.
Deciding to have a reception of any style other than a seated brunch or dinner heavy hors d’oeuvres can really save you big bucks. Consider that you’ll only need seating for about 70% of your guests. That means you won’t need as many tables, chairs, linens, or centerpieces. This can cut down on costs and save you hundreds of not thousands of dollars, and you can apply those savings to another aspect of your wedding or event.
Have a great weekend!
