Reception Options

For couples who are looking for some lower cost options for reception fare, don't overlook pizza. I attended a very nice reception last month in a church fellowship hall. Nice tables, low-cost table settings, favors (wrapped peanuts and candy), and salads. The main fare was pizza from a local favorite pizzaria that everyone absolutely loved. Pizza doesn't cost much, it's delicious, it's filling, it's a favorite.

It may not be on the "first run" list of reception favorites as far as cousine goes, but everyone had a first rate time and it was one of those receptions I won't forget.

On the other hand, I've also attended my share of steak and lobster receptions that were dark, dismal, and utterly boring.

If you don't have it, food won't save the day. Try something fun and see if the guests don't enjoy themselves too!
