ok,
so here's the deal: my parents are on an extremely tight budget--particularly in regards to the reception and cost per person in terms of a seated dinner. fyi, my reception will be held at around 3-4pm.
i initially wanted to do a seated dinner; however, we are now at the point of considering having a heavy hors d'ouevers and "mocktail" reception--ma "is NOT paying for people to drink/get drunk". my concern is that 1. i feel so bad about only having hors d'ouevers (i plan to incorporate a carving station or some other station as well) 2. if i have passed and stationery hors d'ouevers for my guests, is it tacky to serve the headtable a plated meal?
i feel terrible about my latest situation. i need all the advice i can get
