Planning a wedding with a huge guest list? There are special challenges to consider!
Potential problems:
- Parking
- Adequate number of helpers to set up/clean up/serve food
- Receiving Line
- Guests feeling lost in the crowd
- Guests not being able to hear ceremony speaking
- Amount of food at reception
- Lots of gifts on gift tables, with the potential for theft
Possible solutions to solve these issues:
- Carefully choose venue and take parking into consideration
- Hire help, or have the venue staff clean up
- Skip an official receiving line or have the receiving line pass by the 'head table'
- Give each guest a special guest favor to show your appreciation
- Make sure microphones & a sound system are used during the ceremony
- Hire an experienced caterer who can accurately plan food amounts
- Keep a trusted person stationed at the gift table at all times
