Certain things like silverware, chairs and glassware would have to be rented and you would have to work with a caterer who specialized in tented weddings.

• Book wedding vendors early:

• Choose a wedding theme for a unique reception:

If you want to stand out a little from the crowd, consider incorporating a wedding theme into your reception. A wedding theme can be simple with varieties of flower, like daisy or a season, like fall harvest. A popular option with any kind of wedding theme is to include a signature drink.

• Ask your family member or friends to take gifts:

Are you worried about wedding gifts? Yes, Then tell your friend or a family member prior to wedding-to-be to take in charge of collecting wedding gifts and keep them to a secure location after the wedding.

• Take a few moments to look around and enjoy the reception:

Wedding take a lot of time and effort to plan. During your wedding reception take a few moments to look around and enjoy the result of your hard work. Eat food from your caterer, have a few signature drinks, admire the floral arrangements and enjoy your reception with family and friends. Receptions only last a few hours, so make sure you step back and soak in the atmosphere.
