Hi again ladies,
My FI and I are still planning our RD. At this point we really don't have the money to be doing a full meal, and some resturants in our area want up to $500 between food and room rental. We are getting married at least 1 hour away from both families so we can't do a bbq at one families house instead. The area is very rural and our rehersal is at 5:30pm. I worry it will be too late to do a picnic or something outside and I don't want to do a pot luck at a VFW or something of that nature because everyone in the WP has a 1 hour+ drive so I don't know how well the food would hold up.
We found one resturant 5 mins from the ceremony site that will let us rent a room and have appetizers (did I spell that wrong?) instead of a full meal. Drinks will be available as well. Can we do this instead of a full meal? I do feel bad about not getting a full meal, but I've had their food many times and some of the appetizers are pretty big by themselves.
Thank you!
