Money Saving Tips:
- Stick to Appetizers! Don’t worry about serving huge meals. Instead, try serving lots of filling appetizers that guests can dig into and then get back to the dance floor!
- Skip on Servers! Just set out some tables full of platters of food. This saves a lot of money and avoids guest searching for a waiter to get some snacks from.
- Make Your Own! If you want to, go potluck style and have relatives bring over family favorites. If not for all of the food, at least some to cut down on spending and add a personal touch to your wedding cuisine.
