Champagne & Cake VS. Cocktails
We have been thinking about what kind of reception to have. And of course we (just like mostly everyone gettin hitched) are on a budget; so it can't be something that is going to break the bank. We are thinking that we want to do something a little different from a formal sit-down type of dinner. Our best options seem to be either a cocktail reception or a champagne & cake reception. Another plus, i think, of having something like this is that it'd allow everyone to mingle more rather than be confined to the table they've been assigned to. Obviously we'd have some tables and chairs for people to sit - but at their leisure. :) The problem is though, at what time of the day is best for either one??? Champagne and cake is probably best for after dinner time and not in the afternoon, so perhaps a 7pm ceremony and then reception begins at 7:30pm? Or is that better for cocktails? This has me confused! Anyone have any opinions or thoughts? If so, please share :)
p.s.) Not sure if this detail will make a difference but it'd probably be a reception of 75-100 people.
Hmmmm,I think that either one you choose is fine but it all depends too on whether or not you are trying to go modern or traditional or a mix of both. I think that cocktails would be fun and different while still being able to retain a traditional air. You could do 1950s vintage inspired cocktails! Just a thought! Champagne and cake is classic and works well also but I personally prefer the idea of having cocktails. :-) Let me know what you decide and think! Cheers! Nadia
