Getting
Deals on Catering
When it comes
to your catering services for your wedding, there are options
to make it more affordable. Generally for larger receptions,
catering companies will offer discounts on their own.
Saving money on
your food and drink can be very easy, but it really depends
on how large your reception party will be and what you are
planning to serve. I will explain how you can save some money
on the catering for your party.
- You can serve
basic entrees where the meals are all inclusive and forego
the extras like salads, soups and breads and bring these
items yourself.
- You can choose
to go with appetizers instead of full entrees. Many catering
companies will offer a variety of appetizers at a special
cost.
- Skip out on
the extra services that many catering companies offer such
as place settings or servers.
- Avoid going
to a professional caterer and opt instead to use a small
restaurants catering services instead.
- Picking up
the food for your reception instead of letting the catering
company deliver it can save you a great deal of money.
- You can always
make the food yourself and experiment with many different
tastes or prepare all of your best dishes.
- Tips are generally
included in catering packages so you do not have to provide
extra tips during the reception unless someone goes out
of their way and/or far over the duties
- Plan your wedding
yourself instead of using a wedding planner
- Limit your
transportation costs by booking the services on off seasons
or shopping around for the cheapest costs
- The very last
thing that you can do is elope!
These tips can
save you a lot of money on catering because when you skip
the extras and forego the delivery charges and set up etc.
catering companies will give you good prices.
Of course, you
can also opt out of full entrees and serve something altogether
different. It can be very easy to get good prices on catering
services. Perhaps the best way to do this is to simply limit
the guests at your reception that you have to serve.
By turning your
full reception into a private and intimate celebration, you
can limit the amount of guests without offending anyone.
Unless you can afford to invite all of your co-workers that
you get along with, don’t invite any. It is just good etiquette.
