Wedding Party

Planning a wedding party is not like planning any other party. The amount of planning goes into it will boggle your mind. However, if a few important aspects of the planning process are kept in mind then, everything else will take care of itself. A wedding party should be fun and therefore must be planned well. Given below are a few aspects of planning a wedding party, which must be considered carefully.

The Budget

While planning a wedding party, the first thing you must do is set a budget. It is one of the most important aspects of planning a wedding, and once the budget is finalized you can get on to the other aspects of planning. If you have decided upon a low budget then you would have to plan a low key party, however if there are no limits to the budget than you can pull out all the stops. While figuring out the budget you must include the associated cost of anything and everything that is going to be a part of the wedding party right from invitations, to photography and from the cakes to the going away presents. Only then will you have a clear idea about the kind of money you can spend on the wedding party.

The Number of Guests

This is the tricky part. This is because the number of guests that are a part of your wedding party will decide the major part of the expense of your party. Have a rounded off figure that you can offer to the sales person of the party hall or garden where you are going to host the party. Try and give the maximum figure, which you can prune down at a later time. Most party halls or gardens etc, charge by "the head' and thus the number of guests that you are going to invite for your party are going to be very critical.

The Party Theme

If you want you can even plan a theme for the party. For e.g. you could call it a dinner 'n' dance party and thus decorate the venue and plan the party accordingly. Or else you could plan the party according to a particular theme like 'summer' 'Rain', or even 'Snow'. You could then ask people who are invited to the wedding party to don specific clothing and also organize various events centered on the particular theme. You can also keep a simple party that has no theme attached to it, and it's only about having fun and congratulating the wedded couple.

The Menu

It is a fact that one of the biggest attractions of any party is the menu. People might forget anything and everything associated with the party but they will never forget the kind of food that was served at the wedding party. Make sure that there is delicious food on the menu and that it caters to all kinds of tastes. You can offer your guests a myriad of choices ranging from Indian, Continental, and Chinese etc. You might also want to serve non-vegetarian dishes to your guests; however, this decision has to be taken with care. You might have invited guests who wouldn't like the fact that non-vegetarian dishes are being served along with vegetarian food.

Don't leave it all for the Party Planner

These days one can hire party planners who have an expertise in planning parties. You can just give them a fair idea of what you want and they will do everything else for you. However, it's important that even if you hire such people, you become a part of the planning process. Your contribution will give a personal touch to the party and moreover, you can know for certain whether all that you have asked to be planned is in order or not.
