First thing is you need to Determine your budget for the food..... then take that and divide it by the total number of guest you plan on having and that will give you a price per person... which is how most catering companys figure it out....( example : Budget $500, guests 100, total per guest $5)
Price Ranges:
$4-$6 stay with lunch, Heavy Apps or Desseret Only
$6-$11, Lunch or a very light chicken only kinda dinner,
$11-$20, Buffet , and pricier dinner
If you are trying to save in this area a great option is to either do a late lunch wedding (lunch is always cheaper)a Appetizer only reception or a desert only reception... so you could do a 5:30pm ceromoney and have a 7pm reception and let guests know that dinner is not provided and there will be
heavy apps or desserts.... many couples are doing this to save big ( because you dont have to worry about large dinner plates forks knives which to rent are not super cheap)
We are fortnate tha i workk in the industry and that i am only paying for the food and have amazing co-workers who are preparing it for our big day!
Which leads in to the next option having family friends cook the food for you and do a sorta pot luck for the wedding espicailly if your wedding is not a "fancy Event" Plus Grandparents love to contribute!!
We are actually asking my sister to do my cake( which is amazing lol Rice Crispy Treat Picture to follow) and Chads Nan to make Apple pies for all the guest( she was excited when we asked her!)
