Please I need help! My fiancee and I are planning a wedding on a budget and I’m doing this mostly on my own. What usually happens at the wedding reception? I had sort of thought about not dancing, not doing a first dance at all, but I think I want to. I know I will not do the guarder toss but I would like to throw the bouquet and dance with my new husband and my sister who is the maid of honor would like to write a toast. So how does this go? In which order? Thanks so much!!!!!

1- cocktail hour
2- receiving line (optional)
3. 1st dance, parents dance etc.
4. dinner
5. toast and speeches
6. cutting of the cake
7, dancing
8. bouquet toss and GARTER tos9
9. last dance

Good luck

Sorry I gotta ask again….I had 3 very helpful answers but I was hoping for a couple more maybe even a few guys opinions…..
I’m in the process of becoming a wedding planner. I just started and already I have 2 weddings however I am doing both of them for free because I don’t have experience yet and I need it, and they are my bfs friends. I think I have a really good shot at this being as I live in Victoria B.C which is pretty busy with weddings. But since I haven’t charged anyone yet I’m not sure if a lot of people would be willing to pay for one? And if so, what would you be willing to pay?
I’m thinking of charging about $1500-$2000 for a full year of planning and being on site that day. Does that sound like to much or not enough? It takes up A LOT of time and gas so I think that’s a reasonable price.

I forgot to add….I am taking courses to become a certified wedding planner.

i’ve got to be honest, we didn’t hire a wedding planner and we didn’t have any problems planning our wedding. my friend had one and i guess she was helpful but a lot of the stuff she did was stuff that could easily be handled by the bride herself. and on the wedding day, she spent more time being in the way than actually helping out. weddings are already really expensive….i don’t really see the need to spend a few extra thousand dollars for someone to do what i could do with a little extra organization, you know?
i don’t want to be a downer or burst your bubble. WE didn’t use one because our vendors were already pretty good about coordination on the big day. we had a church lady to guide us through the entrance…our caterer set up the reception all, served dinner, AND packaged up remaining food and drink AND our gifts before the reception was over, and our dj handled the bouquet and other activities. we paid a pretty penny for their services so it we felt justified in asking them to handle those details. but my husband says that had our wedding been more detailed or more extravagant then a wedding coordinator probably would have been helpful. try to cater to the venues around you for recommendations. and up your price…$1500-$2000 is a bit low i;d think!

Can someone please tell me where I can obtain a Destination Wedding Planning Guide that includes budget planning and other important tools to help make planning a destination wedding easy.

There are plenty of good books just for this very thing. I picked up a book titled "Everything Destination Weddings" at Barnes and Noble. It gives tips on useful websites, info, budget planning, everything. Hope this helps.

Not sure…I know my fiance has a lot of family, so accomidating them would important. Thankfully they all live nearby. I want it to be tasteful and elegant, I’m okay if there aren’t many flowers but I don’t know how I feel about fake ones…

Well obvious musts are the marriage license and officiant. Need those just to do the deed!

After that everything is fluff. But your attire and his attire, food, drinks (alcoholic or not), wedding cake (or dessert). Maybe a bridal bouquet and other flowers.

Maybe if a small wedding, have your "reception" at a restaurant and they may have a room seperate.

Don’t know how much you are planning on spending.
