Planning a wedding party can be fun, but it can also take a lot of time and effort, as there are many factors you need to take into consideration.
Firstly you need to decide your budget, and whether the event is going to be in the day or evening. Day parties tend to be a bit cheaper, as you can get away with less food and alcohol. Also if you are hiring musicians, they generally charge on an hourly basis, and this can be expensive if you need them to perform late into the evening. If you are on a very small budget, it could be a good idea to arrange to leave on honeymoon soon after the wedding. This means you can dispense with an evening do altogether, and just have a small cocktail party so that everyone can toast the wedding and see you on your way.
Next you need to think about a venue. You may have some great local venues near you that specialise in wedding packages, such as hotels, country houses and halls. If you want to be more intimate, you could hold a garden party in either your own home, or that of a close relative. This can create a lovely, cosy atmosphere, and will give you more control over how long you hold the party for, and what music and food you can provide. You will probably need to hire a marquee to seat all the guests and have enough room for dancing, and also make sure there is plenty of lighting around the garden, and warm places for guests for when the evening draws in.
