Im sorry I am also having a cocktail hour so this is why my dinner menu is not that much. Hoping the little food at the cocktail hour will do a little filling prior to the dinner.... Yes this is my first wedding and is working on a very tight budget.. Thanks so much for your help in this matter |

Shanika, the usual budget, even for a self catered dinner, is $10 per person. Plus you need about 15 people in the kitchen and as servers, who are NOT in the wedding, just to set up, serve, and cleanup this size party. If you really only have $1000, you either need to cut the guests to about 100 or have a 1 pm service so you can do a dessert only or tea reception. Please read my article on wedding dinners and think about it. |
