It all depends on the culture and the country in which you reside.
Financially speaking, the reception hall controls the wedding invitation list. The occupancy limit of the reception hall will determine the maximum number of people can attend the reception. As far as who can invite how many people, that is an agreement that the bride's side and the groom's side have to negotiate.A.In a traditional wedding, the Father of the Bride pays for the wedding , and has some say as to what he can afford. He then turns the wedding planning over to the bride or the couple. It is up to the planner to determine how many guests there will be, and will rent a reception hall based on the number of guests to attend . The hall has no financial responsibility except to provide whatever services they have been contracted for.
Regardless of how you meant this: no.There is legally speaking no requirement that the father of either the bride or the groom be present at a wedding, though it's customary. (Even if one of them is underage and requires parental consent to marry, this doesn't generally have to be done at the wedding itself.)It's... nontraditional, to say the least... for anyone except the couple themselves to be present on the wedding night(that is, after the reception).

Pay 1/2 If you are going the traditional stream of thought, here is the usual breakdown: * the engagement party. * * invitations, engagement and wedding announcements, enclosures, personal stationery, newsletters, postage, wedding programs, and thank you notes. * * brides wedding down, shoes, accessories, and honeymoon wardrobe. * * formal wear for the bride's parents. * * bridesmaids and flower girls dresses, shoes, and accessories. * * bridesmaids tee, luncheon, or dinner. * * groom's engagement ring [if he's wearing one] and wedding ring. * * bridal consultants fees. * * ceremony and reception decorations and flowers. * * bouquets and corsages for bridesmaids and flower girls. * * fee for ceremony space, Sexton, organist or other musician, rental of aisle carpet, canopy, huppah, and any other necessary ceremonial items. * * reception: all professional services providers, including the caterer, bartender, and musicians or DJ. * * engagement and wedding photos, and wedding video. * * transportation for the bridal attendants and bride's family to and from the ceremony and reception. * * bride's gifts to bridesmaids and flower girl, and bride's gift to her groom. I will post a link to a budget planner so that you can get some more information.

By doing everything yourself - except for having to pay clergy people.
A number of things: 1. Greet their guests. 2. They dance "The Wedding Waltz", which is a slow dance and a love song plays that the bride and groom dance to for the first time as husband and wife. 3. Eat and drink. 4. Cut and eat wedding cake. 5. Bride throws her bouquet to the single women and her garter to the single men. 6. Say good-bye and take off for their honeymoon. *7. Have sex in their honeymoon suite.*
Except for Nick because he has diabetes.

The cost of having a reception is comparable to all other hotels in Waikiki on the beach. Hilton Hawaiian Village has outdoor reception areas and indoor reception areas. You just need to call their events and catering department at 808-949-4321 ext 35. I would ask for Lynn Reyes. She was wonderful at handling my daughter's reception and she will try to make it work for you. We had a large wedding of over 425 people and we did not want to hold it anywhere else except at Hilton Hawaiian Village. I also had another smaller reception for my son and he had it at this really great indoor space by the lagoon and on the beach. It is called the Rainbow Suites...it is down on the first floor of rainbow tower. You can walk right out to the beach and it also has a private patio. You can have a really nice small wedding on the patio or use it for cocktails at sunset and then use the meeting rooms adjoined. It also depends on whether or not you want to have a lunch or dinner. Lunch was so much cheaper. I love HIlton Hawaiian Village and would definitely recommend it for a place to stay and for destination weddings. You can get great deals during the year.
