Save On Finger Foods
Here is a neat trick if you want to save on finger foods. Always pass around the most expensive finger foods on a tray. The reason you want to do this is because people always eat less this way. People will eat more when they go to a table to eat as much as they want. That’s the biggest problem with “buffets” and “salad bars”. People will often eat more. But when things are passed around they fear looking like a pig.
Pasta And Chicken
Pasta and chicken are cheap, but also well liked. The trick is to make these dishes seam more interesting. Ask your cater for some interesting ideas for these combinations. You can have cheap dishes like this that look expensive.
Have Lots Of Breads
People really enjoy breads. Breads can be very filling too. You can set up a bread bar with different kinds of breads. Get a hold of your baker and see what he can make for at a low price. I recommend that you keep the bread warm and have a few different spreads.
Cake Or No Cake?
Most couples don’t want to go without a cake. Keep in mind that cakes are more about tradition. Allot of people don’t even eat their piece of cake. So it’s a good idea to keep your cake simple. Some people are not even going with a wedding cake. You could set a pastry table for people to eat those for desert. You will find that people often like those better.
Plan your fantasy wedding on a budget. Avoid wedding scams and get the lowest prices on every part of your wedding. It’s simple, it works, is stress free, and makes planning your wedding fun.
