Cheap Wedding Reception Menu
A cheap wedding reception menu can include tuna and chicken salad sandwiches on a variety of breads, cut into squares or triangles so everyone can sample several types.
Also on the menu, you can have a veggie tray with ranch dip, chips, salsa, fruit cups, and deviled eggs.Top it off with several desserts to choose from in addition to the wedding cake.
If you want to serve something more than just cake and punch, but you do not want to serve a full meal, serve hors d'oeuvres to your guests along with wedding cake. Make a variety of hors d'oeuvres for guests to eat until the cake is cut.
Just make sure that you have more than enough so no one feels slighted. Crackers topped with cheese, cream cheese, peanut butter mixed with honey, tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, and ham with cheese all make good hors d'oeuvres.
I once saw sardine pieces and cream cheese on crackers at a aparty and they were very good. Thin cucumber slices and cream cheese on crackers also work well. Mini bagels topped with cream cheese and mini pigs in a blanket are also popular.
Get creative and you can think of some good ideas of your own for an hors d'oeuvres reception.
Another idea for a cheap wedding reception menu is to serve mini pizza slices and mini pizza bagels along with a vegetable tray and fresh fruit slices.
Mini tostadas with refried beans, meat, sour cream, tomatoes, and grated cheese are also fun to eat.
Mini egg rolls and shrimp cocktails are two more good ideas to serve to your guests. They won't go home hungry and the cost of food won't break the bank.
