This is my first post on here and I'm hoping that this topic hasn't been brought up before! If it has, sorry!
What are your thoughts of having outside catering versus making the food yourself (or families doing it)?
I've always known I wanted to have a caterer do the wedding because I didn't want any of our family members having to worry about food while doing everything else during the day of the wedding. I made that very clear from the beginning to my Fiance and I didn't want to budge on it. Fast forward a week or so later when we're at his mother's house discussing wedding stuff and he brings this up. Of course, they think it's a great idea (mainly because none of us have $3,000-4,000 just laying around to pay for it, which I understand) and I just felt ganged up on because of this. I just ended up giving up on the idea of catering and told him that if him and his family want to make the food, fine but they'll be paying for it and if it turns out horrible, they'll get the blame. Am I being unreasonable? I really do understand the cost issue but I don't want to add on extra pressure leading up to the wedding and I have a feeling this is going to be extra stress on us.
