If you are planning to be married soon then you likely already have an idea in your head of what you want you’re wedding to be like, and if you don’t then it will be a decision that you will be making very soon in the near future. Some people prefer a large fancy affair on their special day, some prefer a laid back outdoor wedding with very little formality while others still prefer something in between. You could prefer a semi-formal wedding due to limited finances, because you want you’re wedding to be on a more personal level or just because you are not the flashy, fancy types that want to have an extravagant event. Whatever the reasons that you may be thinking about having a semi-formal wedding congratulations on your decision not to adhere to conformity. More and more happy couples these days are preferring smaller, less formal weddings for a variety of reasons and there is nothing wrong with having your special day your way. Not only will you be better able to enjoy your wedding day with those individuals that mean the most to you but you will also be able to spend less money and less time planning when all is said and done. These great ideas will help you to get started on making some important decisions regarding the plans for your semi-formal wedding.

– One surefire way to have a semi-formal wedding is to have your reception at home instead of a fancy restaurant where everyone has to follow the rules of formality. By having a reception at home everyone can really relax and enjoy their time together rather than be forced to sit in certain places and involve themselves in certain dreaded activities such as the dollar dance. If you or a friend has a decent size backyard you can make it into a beautiful reception area by hanging lanterns, arranging tables, and setting up a buffet style meal. Not to mention it will cost much less to have a reception at home than it will in a sit to restaurant as well.

Another way to have a semi-formal wedding is to tone down the wedding attire. Just because you are getting married does not mean you have to wear an extravagant gown with a three foot long train or that your future husband’s wedding party has to wear tuxedos. Instead choose a minimally formal dress that is a bit shorter and not quite so fancy and have the men in your wedding party wear suits. How you dress yourselves and your wedding party will really help to determine how formal your wedding is.

Finally, if you are hoping to have a semi-formal wedding be sure to let everyone that you it to be that way and they will follow suit. Invite them to dress down and relax and you will be rewarded with a semi-formal atmosphere that you, your future husband, and your guests can all enjoy. And remember, you don’t have to have a fancy formal wedding for it to be memorable.
