For the&nbsp;friend-oriented reception at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thearborloft.com\">Arbor Loft<\/a>, the groom opted for retro signs, lounge seating areas, and a temporary tattoo station for&nbsp;a cool, relaxed party vibe.

Choose good vendors. Work with people who give you good vibes and whose work you admire. Give them a little direction and a lot of freedom. When you give an artist creative license, you often get their best work. Plus, after months of planning, it&rsquo;s nice to have a few surprises. Read contracts thoroughly and get all the changes in writing. Even when you have vendors you can trust, it&rsquo;s best for everyone to know what the expectations are&ndash; not all surprises are good. Choose only things you love but remember to consider your guests. It&rsquo;s your day, but you&rsquo;re also hosting a party.
