Forget any cringing thoughts of boring potlucks and lukewarm deli dishes! It’s possible to keep your wedding food simple, easy and still have it be tasteful and memorable.
Appetizers come first and your guests will appreciate a small assortment of snacks that are tasty but not messy. For this reason, anything with a great deal of liquid is a bad idea. Vegetable platters are good place to start, and any vegetable platter can be dressed up by adding a really knock-out dip. This is also a good place for cheese. While you might want to avoid the Super Bowl-party cubes of cheddar, a variety of small cheeses with herbed crackers can make a tasteful addition to the table.
Quartered sandwiches with the crusts cut and artfully arranged is a regular crowd favorite, and you can surprise your guests with interesting fillings. While ham and cheese are popular, you might want to try chicken salad, crab and cream cheese, and tomato and basil. Try to suit the food to the weather as well; during a summer reception, your guests will thank you for those cool cucumber sandwiches!
For a more international feel, if your budget allows, you might want consider sushi rolls. You can roll the sushi yourself, substituting regular tuna in place of more exotic fillings, and provide your guests with a fascinating new experience.
For a sweet finisher, a fruit plate with in-season fruit is always a winner. If you live close to any farms, you might consider seeing if they have anything they can provide you with; fresher is always better, and if you can get fresh, in-season strawberries at your wedding, it’ll be one the guests will remember for a long time. For the winter months, try something a bit richer.
For affordable wines, look around your area for good ideas and bargains. You can often get some discounts if you buy several cases from the same seller. Especially if your wedding party is larger, you may want to consider shopping online; there are some wonderful bargains available if you know where to look. You can also have a completely non-alcoholic wedding party as well, substituting sparkling grape juice; then pregnant mothers, children and non-drinkers and can enjoy it as well.
Between things like the clothes and the venue rental and the flowers, it can be easily to forget how much the food for a wedding adds up. Depending on how large the wedding party is, it is possible for the food costs to spiral up to thousands of dollars. Luckily, there are many ways to cut costs and still have a great time!
