Becky, of White Willow loveliness, graciously offered to share the following three tips to make your reception a rousing success. Take it away, Becky!

1. OUT WITH THE STRESS Make your wedding day stress-free for both the couple and family members. Have every detail planned, and let a professional carry out the plan. That way you can focus on family and guests — and most importantly your wedding day!

2. IN WITH THE MEALS Don't skip meals on your wedding day. It will be a long and busy day, and you do not want to feel sick because you have not eaten. Get a good night's rest the night before your wedding day. Pack early for your honeymoon, and then add your personal items the day of your wedding.

3. IN WITH THE PUNCTUALITY AND PREPARATION Ask all family and wedding party to arrive 10 minutes early for pictures at the reception so your photographer can use the time taking pictures and not waiting for latecomers. Have the photographer scope out the best locations for pictures of large groups and couple shots before the reception so they are effective with their time and you get the perfect settings in all your pictures.
