Wedding Reception Foods

The wedding reception foods you choose will depend on your budget and on the type of reception you choose to have. It will also depend on the kind of help you can get from your family and close friends. Sometimes, they are thrilled to help you out by cooking for such a special occasion as a wedding. Ask them.

Most couples choose to offer chicken or beef to their guests. Others choose to have fancier fare like prime rib or cold salmon. Barbecued beef and chicken are popular with outdoor weddings.

It is not necessary to offer a choice to guests. It is less expensive for you if you do not. If the caterer prepares one dish for everyone, it is cheaper for you. It is courteous, though, to have caterers prepare several vegetarian plates, especially if you know for sure that some of your guests are vegetarians.

Check with several caterers for pricing and menu choices. Taste the food to see if it is good and if it will be worth the cost to you.

If you choose to use a caterer, get everything that the catering company agees to in writing. If it is not in writing, it was never said, it never happened. Need I say more?

You will need to put down a large deposit so make sure you really like the caterer before you sign the contract and pay them that deposit. You will usually pay so much per guest so the cost of food will greatly influency how big your guest list is. Remember, you do not need to serve something very expensive for it to be great food.

A lot of people think beef is best as they do not want to look like tightwads. However, a lot of people these days do not eat much beef because chicken is healthier for you.

The food you serve at your wedding needs to be fabulous and affordable. Consider catering your own wedding.
