For the couple that is planning a wedding that is a bit small in scale, the idea of having a casual reception at home may sound quite wonderful. There is just nothing that is more charming than being able to relax with some of your closest friends and family members to celebrate your new life. When it comes to planning such a casual event, you should never feel intimidated.

A good way to go is to have a caterer come into your home and help out with the menu for the evening. You obviously have the choice of some sort of a sit down meal or a light menu with appetizers and finger foods. A neat thing to do at such a casual reception would also be to have some type of a sushi bar setup so that your guests can get involved a bit with the meal. As long as you have the drinks flowing from some sort of a wine bar or something of the like, you should all have no problem celebrating the reception.

When it comes to the wedding cake at your casual reception, you could possibly make the evening into some sort of a wine and dessert tasting. This could be done by having smaller wedding cakes with different fillings and flavors or maybe even some other decadent desserts to go along with them. Pair the delicious desserts with the perfect wine selections and you and all of your guests are in for a super delicious casual wedding reception at home that you will never forget.
