We are planning our wedding abroad at the moment and we're thinking of having a wedding party the weekend after for all the cousins, workmates, neighbours etc. Have any of you had an evening reception like this? If so, what did you do? and how much should we budget for?

Any info appreciated!

Hi, we are also in the same boat. I hadnt thought about having a party at home but then my OH suggested it and said he'd love to do it as it would be the summer and we could have a BBQ in a local venue which would be nice. I dont want to get bogged down with it though and have it cost too much. We might wait and see closer to the wedding and see if we can stretch to it.

We've planned a party in our local pub when we get back, I got most my decorations on ebay worked out bout €60, bought card and envelopes to make our own invites, DJ is about €100 and the food I expect will come in at about €300 max. Trying to keep the costs down big time for it, it's very easy to let it get outta control.

Actually thinking the same here as we are having a small wedding abroad with family and close friends. Haven't looked into it yet but was thinking along the same lines - booking a function room in a pub, DJ, finger food etc. Will be nice to be able to celebrate with the relatives and other friends back in Ireland after the big day.
