My husband and I were married in January and are having a wedding celebration with our families in July. We are wanting to put on a nice affair, but we are on a small budget. Our colors are red, blue, and silver. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have the event in the evening, say 7:30-8:00 for a start time. That way, people won't expect a meal. Serve cake, ice cream, coffee, tea, and punch. Ask adult cousins to serve the lunch. The receptions that I have been to that do this have male cousins scoop the ice cream. Give the helpers a small remembrance of the occasion as a thank you.
Ask a couple teen age relatives to carry the gifts to the gift table. Ask a married couple to be host and hostess, if you know of a relative that is good at taking pictures, ask that person to take some pictures of the event. Most of the time at this type of event the evening is spent making the rounds and visiting with the guests.
Sometimes, two or three people that like to do a little acting can be drafted to put on a skit about marriage. For this, it might take a little digging to find a written skit, but it can be done. At my wedding reception, one of my husband's aunts and her teenage daughter put on a skit, that had something to do with hillbillies. The aunt was dressed in patched bib overalls, it was hilarious. A couple people did readings and that was all the entertainment there was. It was a good time.
