Nowadays the wedding ceremony are becoming so expensive and also with the slow down in the economy has commercialized so much that the caterers are providing only very limited items in case of very limited budgets. But on the other hand people love and appreciate the idea of a potluck reception.

For any kind of wedding theme, this potluck reception will suit perfectly well. In case if you feel little embarrassed about calling it that way then I would prefer you call it as “Old Time Traditional Wedding Celebration”. As this potluck will fit into any theme and there won’t be anything that can be questioned about it.

The potluck will fit exactly as you call it an old time celebration if you choose the decoration and other related things for the wedding with an “Old Time Theme”. You can opt for a 50’s or 20’s theme which has the real old time themes and are the most popular ones.

And also all the people who are invited has to be informed about the potluck theme through a small attached message in the invitation in order to give them the option. The message could be as follows

~Our Wedding celebration will be an “Old Time Traditional Celebration” which includes a Potluck dinner. ________ please check here in case if you wish to bring a dish instead of a wedding gift. About the dish suggestion give us a call.

You will be surprised to see the turn around rate of people willing and wishing to bring their own special recipe for the potluck dinner. Thus leave them to call in order to get or offer suggestion so that you have the control over the menu for the dinner.

Once at the reception party, you and the other guests will really be surprised at the variety and the quality of the dishes presented by the guests who participated interestingly in the potluck. The wedding reception will be a hit with rich menu items as the friends and the relatives who involved themselves in the potluck will be bringing only the special dishes as the occasion itself is something more special.
