How to Cater a Wedding
If you are planning your wedding and have discovered the cost of the event is more than you had originally planned on spending, there are several ways that you can cut your expenses. One of the best ways is to cater your own wedding, which can easily be done with the help of family and friends.
How to Cater a Wedding
Determine how many people will be attending the event and how much money you can afford to spend on each person for food and drinks.
Determine how much you can afford to spend on decorations and supplies for the reception.
Decide what type of food you will be serving. Consider having finger foods instead of serving a full meal. Serve water, tea and coffee. Offer a cash bar for guests that would like to have an alcoholic beverage.
Purchase your food from a wholesale food company. They sell salads, meat and bread in bulk, which can save you a lot of money.
Ask family and friends for their help in decorating, food preparation and serving.
