Has anyone done or know someone who didn't do a tradition reception? We're wanting to buy a house within the next year so we're doing a family only ceremony and we're trying to think of ways to save money on the reception. I've already done some research for venues and what not, but what about just renting a restaurant/bar for the reception? I figured it would save with the food, linens, tables, chairs, and alcohol. Anyone attended one like that or have ideas?
