The Affordable Cocktail Party Reception


Cocktail receptions are one of the best kinds of parties to host on a limited budget.  Here are a few tips:
1.  Hold your reception on a Sunday, usually cheaper than a Saturday night wedding.  State on your invitation that the event is for cocktails, so your guests won't expect dinner.

2.  Decorate high boy cocktail tables with candles and modest bunches of flowers.

3.  Offer finger foods like Italian breads, olives, cheeses, finger fruits and salads.  Arrange the wedding cake on it's own table.
