Truth be told, a wedding can cost quite a lot of money – and the food you put on the tables can definitely be among the most expensive items you will have to deal with. Luckily though, you can save tons of money by simply paying attention to certain details and being smart about the ways in which you cut down your wedding menu costs.
How to do that? Here are some great tips to inspire you:
- Skip the large cake. Yes, it can be nice to have a very large, gorgeous cake. But if you’re running on a tighter budget, you can definitely replace it with a smaller cake – just enough for the pictures and for the cake cutting moment. To make sure your guests’ sweet teeth are satisfied, you can either serve less expensive sheet cake in the same flavor as the ceremonial cake, or you can even set up a dessert bar with multiple options (people will actually enjoy this).
- Don’t be afraid to be unique. Think beyond the classic meat cuts and replace them with less common cuts that add uniqueness, variety and save money too. Pork belly, local fish, beef cheeks – they can be absolutely delicious and your guests will definitely appreciate the special touches.
- Use disposables instead of traditional china and glassware. Not only can these make cleaning up easier and less expensive, but they are also cheaper to buy too. What’s more, there are a lot of eco-friendly options you should definitely consider if you want to go green with your Big Day.
