100 seems to one of those magic numbers when it comes to wedding guest lists – after all who doesn’t want a good turn out for their big day?
But if you’re on a budget then it’s worth contemplating quality rather than quantity – particularly when it comes to catering. After all, when you consider the amount of trouble and expense you expect your guests to go to (hotels, taxis, new outfits, gifts etc) then surely you want to treat them accordingly?
The wedding industry does a fine job of bombarding couples with ‘must haves’ – and before you know it a budget that seemed entirely reasonable is suddenly being stretched to the limit.
And that often leaves venues and caterers being expected to double up as magicians!
If you really aren’t willing to compromise on a swanky venue then it’s worth considering pruning your guest list in order to be able to afford to provide the wedding feast of your dreams.
Then, bump up the numbers in the evening – when a light supper or snack will do the trick nicely.
Just because your wedding venue has the capacity to seat 120 doesn’t mean you have to invite 120 people to the ceremony!
Alternatively, opt for a less expensive venue and put the cash you’ve saved into your food and drink budget.
Be remembered as a generous host – no-one wants to see your guests queuing up for a takeaway on the way home!
