AHR question from a newbie


Recommended Posts

We haven't even picked a date or location yet for the actual wedding, so planning the AHR is months away. But I have been thinking about the AHR and have a question..

 

Since one of the main reasons we are having a DW is to save money, we want to keep the AHR at a low cost. Is it tacky to have a Friday evening reception (when halls are cheaper) and not do a formal sit down dinner, but some hors d'oeuvres or something?

 

We just want to keep the cost down.

I don't think that is tacky at all. IMHO I think something like that is perfect!! I am still trying to decide myself. I also want to keep the cost down and I am not going to have many people - about 25 or so. So, we'll either do a heavy cocktail reception, or sit-down dinner in a nice resturant that has a private room. Not enough people for a hall relief.gif

I agree - it's not tacky at all. We are having a sit down dinner at a friend's restaurant for about 50 people - but not doing any of the formal things a wedding reception usually entails. Hors d'oeuvres on a Friday night sounds just fine! Keeping costs down for us was extremely important as well.

I'm so glad I saw this thread. My mom and I were actually just talking at lunch about me maybe just having a wine & cheese or tapas thing in an afternoon vs. a full out reception or BBQ (which was the original plan). The whole reason for a DW for us was to save $ and also because I'm not one for a big thing in my honour - I don't like being the center of attention.  So I didn't really want a big party at home either. A little afternoon thing just might be the way to go for us!
