caterer question

This may be an obvious question...but I just want to know what you girls think. I am on a fairly tight budget and am trying to figure out cheap ways to cater the reception. Will a barbeque meal be cheaper than a formal meal? Should I just ask the caterers if they can do a barbeque style meal or do I have to find a specific caterer for this type of meal? TIA.

Re: caterer question
(FSIL totally blows at planning ANYTHING and I'm familiar because I'm planning my wedding - although mine is a DW)
Another girl on my monthly board did her food from a local mexican place - save HUGE amounts over what a "wedding" caterer tried to charge so the savings seems to be similar. NOTE: depending on how formal you are, you still might want to rent real dinnerware or upgrade your "plasticware" and plates to the nice stuff from Sam's/Costco for a minimal cost.
