Eating Up the Savings


We continue this week by slashing your wedding budget. Today's tip is how to save money on the food, another major line item in your budget. Enjoy!

1. Have family members prepare the food for the reception.

2. Buy trays of prepared food from local grocery stores or places like Costco or Sam's. Be sure to by extra trays in case the food runs low.

3. Have a cake, punch, and champagne reception. Remember that late afternoon is best, so that guest will not expect a meal.

4. Choose a simple buffet instead of a sit down dinner.

5. If you have a sit down dinner, look at cheaper entrees. Chicken is always cheaper than beef or seafood.

6. Keep the hors d' oeuvre's menu simple, as they can get quite expensive.
