Photos
Try decorating the reception site with photos of you and your
groom. Photos are not only memorable, but a perfect cheap wedding
reception decoration. Pictures can be used almost anywhere.
For
table identifiers, you can place a framed photo of the two of you
with the family who will sit at each table. Guests can have fun
roaming around the room looking at the pictures. It will also
serve as a good conversation starter as guests talk about when the
picture was taken and what happened on that day.
Another idea you can do with pictures is to have them enlarged.
You can have your engagement photo blown up and hang it near the
entranceway to the reception. Your guests can sign it and you will
have a lovely reminder of your perfect day hanging on a wall in
your new home. You can even have a groom’s cake decorated with a
special photo of the two of you.
Maps
If you and your mate love to travel and want to incorporate this
in your wedding decorations, try using maps. There are easy to
find, inexpensive, and are a great way to decorate tables, name
cards, walls, and centerpieces.
If you know how to use paper mache, you can turn almost any item
into a decorated favor. Go to your local $.99 store and pick up
candles or kitschy items, then use the maps to make them all match
your theme. Gift and cake tables can have maps, and you can
personalize them by placing a star by all of the places you’ve
visited together.
Confetti
One of the easiest ways to decorate your reception site is to use
confetti. It comes in a variety of shapes and colors and is
readily available at your local party discount store or on the
Internet. Confetti can be sprinkled on all the tables and helps to
unify the colors or theme you have chosen.
For instance, if you are having a
Hawaiian themed wedding,
you can use confetti in the shape of hula girls or pineapples to
bring life to the tables. Granted, by the end of the day it will
be everywhere. When your guests get home and find it in their
hair, they will have a chuckle and remember how much fun they had.
There are numerous other ways to make the most of your budget and
come up with cheap wedding reception decorations. Try making a
trip to the thrift store or the local discount store to find
things that inspire you and help to make your day fun and festive.
