What style of reception are you having?

Evening ballroom. Formal. I’m so excited. It’s nice to have everyone dress up that you don’t always get too see like that.

We had a sit down Black tie formal reception.

Didn’t know this was a thing, Following

Formal evening buffet style dinner for the reception! Black tie event and colours are purples/blues with accents of gold!

We are doing a sit down formal dinner, but no black tie! My FH is a huge foodie and wanted a special dinner. Then of course a party after 😊

Sit down formal dinner, not black tie though! We're also having a chocolate fountain brought in later and some sort of late-night snack (i.e. poutine bar)!

We are having ours at a local resort in my town. It has beach front access (where the ceremony is), horses, ducks, a big creek with a bridge which is absolutely beautiful and cabins for accommodation. the area where the actual reception is towards the back of the property by their campground. There's a huge field right in between the campground and the dock pond, horses, and creek where we will put our tents.

We willhave lawn games set up in the campground, a taco bar that we are self catering, and campfires going as long as we are without a fire ban! The tents themselves will be quite formal and we want everyone to dress formal, but the atmosphere will be quite relaxed as a whole.

Dinner! Evening! Formal! Winter! Yay...

Ceremony is at 4.30pm, dinner at 6pm, all evening, all a little fancy. I'm so excited.

I love the big brunch idea... I'm hoping to incorporate that instead into the bridal shower

I love the diversity of styles! I can't wait to see how everyone pulls it all together.

I love the idea of everything being over by 3. That's my goal, too. Then we get the rest of the day to do whatever we like as NEWLYWEDS!!!! 😁😍

Brunch is awesome! My friend had a brunch wedding a few years ago and it was great.

We're doing a dinner reception. Leaning towards family style. Trying to keep it casual, but still elegant.

View quoted message That theme is awesome! My fiance and I will be hiding random game/geeky stuff throughout our wedding, too!

View quoted message That sounds SO fun! We seriously considered a taco bar, too!! I can't wait to see pics of your wedding!!

We're having an evening dinner. Trying to have classy foods. The theme is romantic gamer.

We have a tropical/beachy theme and our colours are caribean blue, silver, white and sand.

We're having a traditional evening reception, BUT we are making it very 'us'. We are having a beachy/tropical theme, so instead of the typical buffet of roast beef and chicken, we are having a taco buffet with 12 toppings, a couple sides and salads (Mexican themed, of course!). And our midnight supper is a gourmet hotdog buffet with 14 toppings!

We are also going to have a HUGE (I'm talking over 100 pounds) candy buffet - I want kids, and adults, to have a 'holy shit' moment when they see it!

We’re having a brunch reception at about the same time. Our venue is the Pavillion of a botanical garden.

We’re still looking for caterers but want a casual but elevated chicken and waffles, mimosa bar vibe.

The entire day should be over by about 3pm.

We are having our surprise wedding at an Italian restaurant at 5:00pm. Laid back, small, what we would consider a "typical family dinner". Plated dinner with a large menu to choose from (about 8 entrees!) We are just having some greenery along the middle of the table along with some votive and pillar candles, fairy lights, and a pretty simple gold arbor with white fabric draped with twinkle lights behind it, and some small floral at the top. So excited!!

That sounds fun! We are going with giant backyard BBQ

Sounds like a great reception!

Ours was in the evening with a buffet dinner in a barn. It was pretty laid back and rustic feeling.

That is such a great idea, I am sure it is going to look beautiful and bright with colour!!

We are having a sit-down formal dinner

Your reception sounds like it’s going to be great!

We’re doing a sit-down dinner. Not black-tie, but formal.

We're also doing brunch style but ours is at 130pm! Ceremonys at 11am.

Our colors are burgundy, blush and gold with fall decor. Our menu has pancakes, sausages, eggs, bacon and hashbrowns with coffee and tea and little desserts. No alcohol until the after party. We're also doing lawn games and a photobooth. Im super excited! 107 days cant go by fast enough!

Brunch sounds fun!

My fiancé and I are having a formal, four-course plated dinner during our evening reception.

That sounds awesome and I’d love to go to a reception like that!! We are having a formal dinner, not quite black tie though.
