A small detail: A bite to eat

It is a nice gesture to offer your vendors a bite to eat during your reception. Be sure to talk with your caterer about serving them a less expensive meal than what you'll be offering your guests. *Photo courtesy of Reflections on Spring Creek.

A small detail: Share your love of coffee

Are you a coffee lover? Set up an after dinner coffee bar. Have baristas make a variety of drinks in different flavors with all types of toppings like whipped cream and caramel. The best time to serve a cup of Joe is the last two hours of your reception. *Photo courtesy of PrettyChicky.

A small detail: Kick off your shoes

Have a basket of flip-flops in varying sizes with a sign that says "kick off your heels and enjoy some dancing." Your female guests will be thankful. *Photo courtesy of LIWeddings.

A small detail: Use a family recipe

Personalize your reception menu by asking the caterer to whip up a family dish such as your mother's lasagna or your grandmother's famous chocolate chip cookies. Give out the family recipe to your guests as a favor. *Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Anne Designs.
