Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Ask most people what they remember about a wedding that they have attended and nine times out of ten, the answer will be the food. The difference, they would tell you, between a good wedding and a bad wedding is the food. Frozen pizza and a bowl full of chips is great for a sleep over but for a wedding reception, even a small one, fresh vegetables, appetizers, and a good hot meal is almost a must. Here are a few ideas for that tight wedding budget.

Try a wedding reception buffet with a couple of meat choices and tons of hot vegetables to save a little bit of dough. Even offering just one baked meat such as chicken is fine as long as there are plenty of side choices to go with it. Chicken is inexpensive and can be doubled as two selections since it can be prepared so many ways. Chicken can be fried, baked, broiled, or even served in a casserole and still be considered a main course.
