The Best Low Cost Menu Ideas For Wedding Reception
One of the most expensive parts of a wedding is feeding your guests. It can easily cost a couple thousand dollars or more for food, catering, and drinks. The more guests you have the costlier it will get. So what is a couple to do when they are on a budget? This article will give you 5 great ideas for a budget meal.
#1 Have Lasagna: Why does lasagna make for a great meal. There is a couple reasons for it. The first one is because it is affordable. If your really tight for money you can buy frozen lasagna in bulk. The second reason is because most people like.
#2 Potluck: This when you have your guests bring different dishes. It’s not ideal for a wedding, but it work when your tight for money. Keep in mind that people used to always do this. There is hardly anything strange about it. Just make certain that you supply some dishes too. Don’t expect your guests to bring everything.
#3 Chicken For Meat: Most meats are very expensive. This is particularly true if you want to have seafoods. But your best bet for meat is usually chicken. Chicken is affordable and very popular. If you wanted you could make a number of dishes around the chicken theme.
#4 Avoid A Wedding Cake: It might seem strange for me to recommend that you don’t bother with a regular wedding cake. But you should keep in mind that wedding cake is often wasted at weddings. A better option is to go with something a little different. Cheese, puddings, and cupcakes are all popular options now of days.
#5 Have A BBQ: If your wedding is outdoors, then you should seriously consider a barbecue. Let’s face it, most of your guests will really enjoy a barbecue. To make it even better you can have each of your guests bring a dish like a salad, desert, or finger food.
If you follow my advice here you shouldn’t have too much of a problem saving money on your wedding reception meal. Sometimes you just need to think a little outside the box and come up with a few original ideas. By doing so you will often save yourself a fair bit of money.
