Forget overpriced wedding reception venues. There are much more affordable ways to make your wedding reception be high class and look fantastic for all your guests. They might require a little more work on your part than signing a check for tens of thousands of dollars, but won’t it be worth it? If you pay close attention to the chairs at your reception and dress them up properly, your guests truly will be in awe of your reception. And you will be in awe of your savings.
You may think at first that the chairs are the least your worry for your reception, but you would be wrong. In reality, even if not a single guest compliments you on your reception chairs, they are taking note of them, whether they know it or not. Frankly, there’s a big difference between rusting brown or grey folding chairs and what you need to have at your reception. So how will you make the proper transformation?
Most low and mid-level reception venues, the ones that are really in your budget, will have some sort of folding chair. The secret is to hide that. The first step is with chair covers. I recommend going with polyester chair covers if you are having an outdoor reception or one in the afternoon. If, however, your reception will be in the evening, set the mood the right way with satin chair covers. These chair covers will be much cheaper than the upgrade to a high-priced reception venue and will be well worth the price you pay for them.
But chair covers don’t really complete the elegant and upscale picture that you’re trying to create. To finish the job, you’ll need chair cover bows. These are made of various materials and tend to come in a wide variety of color options, so make sure you color coordinate with your wedding and/or reception colors.
When your reception chairs are dressed up in their chair covers and chair cover bows, your guests will naturally perceive that your wedding reception is the place to be. Try them for your own wedding reception and see!
