There are a lot of issues that would tackled best, if the couple brainstorm over them. Some of the issues which need to be discussed are 'What would be the theme of the wedding?', 'Who will look after the decorations?', 'Who will prepare the menu?', 'Who will find a good caterer?', 'Who will look after the invitations?', etc. It is convenient to hold the dinner, where the ceremony will be held. This saves a lot of time. Choose a place which can accommodate a few extra people. Your wedding reception hall should not look overcrowded. The reservations should be made well in advance, as it could get difficult to book a banquet hall at short notice. Keep a list of contact numbers of all people, whom you want to send invitations to. The content of the invitation should be short and sweet. You can make the invitations creative by adding a romantic poem. Providing a map of the venue can be a helpful plus for your guests.
After you have confirmed the number of guests who are attending the reception, it's time to search for a caterer. Catering is expensive; therefore, if you want to minimize the budget, you can plan a simple but elegant menu, keeping in mind the likes and dislikes of your guests.
