Food ideas

Hello everybody!

I was hoping that I could get some ideas for dinner?

We are having a very laid back casual wedding. Also trying to keep it relativley inexpensive. The wedding will be around 5-5:30 ( still havent pinned it down!)

I thought about having BBQ, but that is pretty pricey. Also thought about doing heavy hors'dourves.

Just wanting some feedback if it should be more of dinner because of the time or is heavy finger foods ok?

    Our wedding was at 7pm, but we just had snack type foods - carrots and ranch, cookies, cheese tray, chips and salsa, etc. 

    On the invites, to let people know we wouldn't be having a dinner, I just put "dessert reception immediately following" and even thought it wasn't JUST desserts, I figured that got the basic point across.

    Where all have you looked at for BBQ?  You might try Bad Brad's in Yukon.  They cater and from what I've heard, are not too expensive.

    We're getting married over Halloween weekend focusing more on having a party for our friends then the typical wedding ceremony and reception. We've decided to have a chili and soup bar. Along with that we'll have various breads and toppings for the chilis as well as crackers. We'll serve fruits and salads.  Since it's Halloween, we'll definitely have a candy buffet. By doing the buffet bars ourselves we'll be able to cut expenses way down.

    What you want to do is perfectly okay. Your guests should enjoy it as long as there is variety and it's good.
