1. 
   Make a budget

   Decide what type of budget will go towards the reception party. There are many ways to throw a reception without breaking the bank, but still having an elegant party to celebrate your special day.

2. 
   Add a simple, yet beautiful centerpiece

   Choose flowers that are either real, or artificial, and save money by using vases that you can find in a craft store. Imitation flowers are the most economical but if you prefer the real thing, save money by using creative glasses to hold them in. Vases can be found in bulk at the store for a very small price.

3. 
   Christmas Wedding

   Decorate themed wedding reception parties with colorful tablecloths that can be found in a fabric store to save money. Adding a red tablecloth with a gold table runner can be an elegant choice for a winter or Christmas wedding, and pine cones with candles provide for a festive centerpiece. Save money on tablecloths and splurge on the runner or other details, since those are the items that will be seen most by the guests.

4. 
   Candles are always beautiful

   Save money by using candles as a centerpiece. Bought in bulk, candles are the easiest way to create a romantic vibe and guests love taking them home. Bought in bulk, and then put in holders, you can choose any style or color to coordinate with the wedding party, and usually its cost very little money.
