Wedding Receptions

Got news that a friend of mine is expecting their her first child. I don't think I have ever been this excited over a baby.

Naturally the conversation moved onto marriage receptions. The couple won't be having any wedding banquets, but will instead be throwing a wedding party, which I think is an awesome idea. A small group of friends having a time of their lives would be indefinitely more fun than a very formal and expensive wedding banquet that can cost more than $20K. This is something I absolutely approve.

From a young age, I have always though wedding receptions are an expensive and useless activity which just serves to show-off. I have always preferred a small and close-knit party which would be a lot more meaningful. The smaller the better. In fact, if I ever do have such a opportunity, I'm probably going to make mine really small or maybe even none at all. Hopefully any future partner of mine thinks the same way too.
