If you want your celebration to be remembered by guests for years, it is important to consider how you will decorate your venue. The decorations are the first thing that your guests will see when they enter the party hall. And as the party winds down and the guests get ready to go home, the decorations are also one of the last things that will leave an imprint in their minds. I know this because I have seen many parties and celebrations that made lasting impressions on the guests simply by way of their beautiful and creative decorations.

When you decorate party halls, there are four things that you need to consider. First off, you need to think of your budget. How much are you willing to spend? Does your decoration concept complement your budget? The first time that I organized a big party, I made a mistake of taking the budget for granted by buying expensive décor items. I had to find ways to augment the expenses for the other important aspects of the party. Do not make the same mistake; work on your set budget. If there are things on your list that may be expensive, look for cheaper alternatives. Or get your creative juices flowing and make the decorations yourself.

You decoration choices should complement the theme or motif of the party. When I organized a hippie-themed party, I filled the party hall with a lot of flowers and hang different hippie cut-outs on the ceiling. For the table centerpieces, I created a vase of peace and love signs made out of colored boards.

Before you finalize the decorations, visit the party hall and find out how big the space you will need to decorate is. Party halls have different table lay outs or arrangements, so you should also pay attention to this aspect. Also, pay attention to the lighting as you can incorporate this into your over-all decoration concept.

Decorate the party hall hours before the celebration. It will even be better if you can set up the decorations at least one day before the event as this will allow you to make changes, if they should be necessary.

If you are the hands-on type of person, you will want to work on the details of your wedding reception yourself. To be sure that you do not miss out on the most important things, you will need to make your own checklist of things to do and accomplish. When I worked on my own wedding reception some years ago, I kept the checklist with me at all times, even when I was not working on anything related to the wedding reception. I figured that it was a good way to not forget anything; if I remembered something, all I had to do was take out the checklist from my bag and note down whatever it is that I remembered.

 

Your wedding reception checklist should contain all the essential information and items needed to make the event a success. Write down your wedding and wedding reception date, including the venue. You might find this a little trivial, but doing this actually helps to keep you right on track.

 

Your checklist should also include a list of your expected guests. Aside from helping you come up with a budget, having a guest list will also help you determine how big a venue you should choose for the reception. Likewise, list down the theme and color motif of your wedding as this will help you decide on how to decorate the party hall that you will be using for the reception.

 

In your wedding reception checklist, do not forget to list down your choices for entertainment. You can go for a band, a solo singer, a pianist or violinist, or a DJ. You may also want your guests to have fun by playing games.

 

Lastly, if the party hall you chose does not include food in the reception package, look for a good caterer. Be sure to schedule a taste test, though, so you can check out the food way before the big day.

 

Once you have all the things on your checklist accomplished, you are ready to get your wedding reception rolling in the best manner possible!
