Wedding planning is a detail-oriented business. There’s getting everything sorted out with your bridal party, selecting centerpieces, and ensuring that you have vendors you love booked for the day. While all of these things might seem time-consuming, they ultimately come together to make the day you’ve been envisioning.

You’ve probably already brushed up on the basics and know how far out you need to have everything done, but here are three things to keep in mind when planning your wedding reception:

• Basics: Before you can start on planning your wedding reception, there are a few basics you need to take stock of. Having a budget you and your partner agree on is crucial to wedding planning. Stick to your budget as closely as possible by identifying what’s most important about your reception. Commit to spending a larger portion of your budget on the one or two things you truly want, and let everything else come next.
• Seating Charts: Seating charts can make or break a wedding reception. Create seating card names and table numbers on separate documents, so you can mix and match guests and tables if there are last-minute changes. 
• Details: Extravagant displays can only go so far when it comes to a wedding reception. Focus on romantic details that will ultimately create a softer mood and be more memorable to guests. Classy touches like monogrammed napkins, thoughtful party favors, and a well-blended color scheme will make your party one to remember.
