If you're trying to have a beautiful event without spending more than it would cost to buy a fully loaded Lexus, you've probably already considered a variety of cost reducing schemes.
You are also probably getting frustrated at the prospect of compromising the professional feel for the lower cost.
It's all about balance.
It is usually unwise to buy the most expensive of anything, and equally foolish to buy the cheapest.
But finding the happy medium can prove to be rather difficult in many circumstances.
Your wedding reception needs to be nice, perhaps a step or two above nice, and if at all possible it should give the illusion that no expense was spared.
So the real challenge is how to have the biggest gap between how much you get (i.
e.
the "niceness" of your reception) and how much you spend (the cost of your reception.
) You're not alone.

The price difference between disposable tableware and fine china is astronomical.
Not to mention the hassle of washing breakables, or the cost to replace the ones that do break.
You might be appalled at the idea of using disposable paper plates and Styrofoam cups at your wedding reception, but it doesn't have to be like that at all.

Specialty stores, especially online party supply warehouses are your best friend if you're looking for a classy ordeal with a low price tag.
You might want to check out a party supply store before even selecting your theme or colors.
If nothing else they'll at least give you ideas when brainstorming.
There are plenty of attractive themes, or colors, or you could go with my personal favorite: the clear plastic tableware.
It looks so elegant that I remember the first time I attended a wedding reception where refreshments were served on the glass-looking plastic.
I thought someone had MISTAKENLY thrown away a plate.
Whether it's a solid color complimenting your theme, or an attractive floral design, or a beautiful glass-like transparent, you're sure save money without sacrificing appeal.
