Some couples have no option but to cater to their own wedding. They simply don’t have the budget to make it work. This doesn’t mean you can’t have great tasting food at your wedding. You just need to be a smart planner and become a decent cook.
Here are 10 random tips that will help you cater your own wedding and make sure everything goes smoothly.
#1: Be realistic about what you can afford and your guest list. 200 guests will be more work then what most people can handle. 50 guests should be something you can handle without much of a problem. Too much work will just stress you out.
#2: You need storage for the food. If your guest list gets high then you may need to find a place to store all that food or bring in extra storage. This could cost you extra money.
#3: Decide on the time of day you will serve food. You don’t have to limit everything to a full course meal time. You could reduce the amount food you need by having breakfast or a mid-afternoon tea.
#4: What about insurance? If people get sick from your food you may have a problem. You need to look at the laws in your area for this type of thing. You very well may need to protect yourself with some liability insurance.
#5: When will you prepare the food? Some people prepare the food months ahead of time and freeze it. Some people hate this idea because they believe frozen food doesn’t taste as good. I was at a wedding once where the food was frozen and I only new that after someone told me. It’s up to you, but your guests may never be able to tell that it was frozen.
#6: Will you need equipment? Where will you get it from? What will it cost to rent it? Hopefully someone you know will have things that you don’t already have.
#7: You will need a kitchen to make the food in. Decide on who’s you will use. The bigger the better. Inspect the kitchen carefully to make sure everything is in good condition.
#8: Make costco your new best friend. You will be able to lots of foods and ingredients there fro cheap. You may even choose to buy some of their frozen food in bulk to save money.
#9: Make easy recipes and ones you have made before. You don’t want to waist your type experimenting with new things. Stick with things that are proven to work for you.
#10: Decide on transportation. Who will take the food to it’s destination? Can you keep it cold or hot on the way there?
