Your Wedding Reception is the probably one of
the most important parties you will ever plan.
The location, food, cake, flowers,
entertainment, photographer, limo service,
etc. is what you will spend most of your
budget on. But in reality, the entertainment
is what will determine the overall success of
your reception.
Even if the food is the best, the cake melts
in your mouth, and the flowers smell like
heaven, the only thing people will talk about
is how good, or how bad your entertainment was
if you just hired the cheapest DJ in town. You
may save a few dollars, but there are better
ways to save money without compromising your
entertainment.

The cost of entertainment at your reception is
only a small portion of your overall budget.
According to
Modern Bride, you should use 10% of your
budget on entertainment. With today's weddings
averaging $20,000, if a DJ is responsible for
50% of the success of the reception, using
only 10% of the overall budget sounds
reasonable, doesn't it?. After all, you get
what you pay for.
Modern Bride also suggests that you should
use 4% of your budget on stationery
(Invitations and enclosures, Announcements,
Thank-you notes, and Programs).
