Simple to Create Wedding Recipes
By | February 2, 2010
Food can be one of the most expensive parts of planning your wedding. In fact, you’re lucky if you can get your reception catered for under $50 per guest. So you have a choice when you’re on a budget.
Do you have fewer guests, or do you simply not feed them? Instead, how about you break out a cookbook and find some wedding recipes to make your own food for the reception?
Making your own wedding food comes with plenty of benefits. For starters, you have more control over costs. You also have more control over ingredients. If you want to follow specific dietary guidelines for your reception, making your own food and choosing your own ingredients is a guaranteed way to do that.
But do yourself a favor and give yourself time to plan, because your wedding day is going to be quite busy. Test all recipes ahead of time. You also want to choose recipes that can stay fresh in the fridge for a few days, or freeze well.
Enlist the help of your family and friends. Many of them will probably be happy to devote a few days to helping you with the big day by helping you make some wedding recipes– if you give them plenty of notice.
The toughest part could very well be choosing which recipes to serve to your guests. The possibilities are endless. Find cookbooks that have lots of great recipe ideas. Perhaps buy a few or borrow them from the library.
Don’t neglect to search the internet, which could be your best resource. Dozens of great recipe sites boast thousands of recipes. You could put together a fine menu with just a few hours of research.
Some things to consider serving at your reception are tea sandwiches (cucumber & cream cheese, carrot, pimento, etc.), skewered meats with elegant sauces, dips with wedges of pita bread, crackers with smoked salmon, potato skins with out-of-the ordinary toppings, etc.
It’s important to find wedding recipes that are both tasty and not your typical Saturday night party fare. That way, the event and food will stand out in your guests’ minds!and in yours.
