Top Ideas On The Best Wedding Menu

By Freida Michael


There are many reasons why everyone loves weddings. Some are for the merry making and others come to share the happiness of the couple being together and although not many admit it, the free food. Having this in thought, one should consider the guests mostly when asking the caterers what they should prepare. Here are some ideas based on tips on getting the best wedding menu.

Be simple in any way possible. Having this in mind, consider doing things that people understand like serving in family mode rather than every single person giving out orders. Couples want to go all the way which can be very expensive. Consider fruit over expensive pies for appetizers. Do not go in way over the head to serve caviar if all one can get their hands on are apple pies.

Go for simplicity if possible. The aim of the whole event is to share the joy of two people getting to be with each other for the rest of their lives. The rest is secondary. Having this at heart, try to not overreach the limits one has. Have simple meals set out. Share out a piece of the meal that means something to the couple. The guests love feeling like they are connected to the pair.

Avoid those sit down dinners that every ceremony is having these days. They are a total waste of money since people aim to get a personal order. The sorry excuse that it is meant to enhance integration is a poor one as people will do this better on their feet, dancing or having drinks. Some people actually feel uncomfortable sitting next to strangers for a long period of time.

Have a wider array of drinks, not just alcohol. There are other people who are not adults in the ceremony. For them, chip in some fruit punch or other types that are suitable to them. Make them feel like part of the party and not left out entirely. This is not only for the youngsters but fro those adults that do not have a soft spot for alcohol content.

Have a budget fro the whole meal course. This will make it easier to find a caterer within the range who can offer what the money can get. Along with this goes quality. No matter how cheap they charge, the type of service has to be good, not tolerable. If one assumes, the guests will be disappointed.

Avoid soups. This is mostly for the parties that have course meals. A lot could go wrong on this one. To start off, there are enough risks of spillage with drinks and the delicate clothes people put on these occasions are the kind to keep stain free. Some are overdone if the guest list is big. It is better to go with something a little more solid.

Avoid fried foods if possible. Meal times are sometimes late at such events and keeping fried foods on check can be quite the job. If they get cold, they become a soggy and tasteless mess. Instead, consider something that can last some hours and still be palatable.
