It's your special day and the union of families, which is big responsibility financially and relationally. Anything goes in terms of food, decor, and timing but depending on your family's background there are rituals that will still be observed and need to be planned for.
You are the hosts of possibly the biggest party of your life. Your role as a host demands that your guests be comfortable and happy. This consideration begins with the earliest decisions in your planning with the food, music, seating, transportation, and other details.
Before the event takes place, you need to decide how you want to receive (i.e. reception) your guests. Will you be there ahead of them to greet and thank each one personally or do you prefer to make a grand entrance and then visit from table to table receiving guests and thanking them? Once you have decided which approach to take you will want to enlist some assistance. Have trusted friends or family be there to let the guests know what is happening, answer questions, and help you manage the people so that you can still have a positive experience on your wedding day. Make sure that if you have a DJ or band that you have reviewed the evening in detail with them and instructed them on what your expectations are for the evening. If you have enlisted the help of a wedding planner make sure you have shared your vision of "how you want the event to run" so that they are able to meet or exceed your expectations.
