OK..so I'm trying to come up with ideas for reception decor and what I want do to. Which brought me to a thought-how am I to be sure everything will go smoothly at my reception if I'm supposed to be mingling and dancing and doing the bride thing? I sure as heck don't want to employ a friend or family member to do all the work but then again I don't want to be stressing about making sure everyone is having a good time and that everything is running smoothly. So who runs the reception if you want your guests to be guests and not working the entire time? And hiring planners and event coordinators is not in the budget.
