There are going to be a lot of hungry people at this wedding. Let's hope they eat before they leave home.



we are doing potluck... we will be providing bacon wrapped chestnuts a non alcoholic drink and a tray of finger sandwiches. other people will be bringing their favorite bites and a recipe which we will be printing and sending to them in a cookbook with a thankyou note

    I understand doing things on a budget - but this is stupid.   Just do cake and punch if you can't afford to feed people real food.   THere's no shame in cake and punch.   IMO.

    I agree with you. Save the bacon wrapped chestnuts and stick with cake and punch. Who wants bacon wrapped chestnuts anyway?

    So you can exit my brain stage left now, AF.  :)  My first thought was, "What's wrong with a little cake and punch if you can't afford to cater a big shebang?"

    And I had a flash of some of the wedding stories Ww told us.   The woman told a hell of a story.<em>  ::pours one out:: </em>

    And this is why I hate appetizer receptions. The guessing of how much food is available. Either feed a proper meal or just go cake and punch.

    they could likely do a pasta dinner for a few hundred dollars as well. 
    pasta + sauce (maybe get crazy and offer red and white, or meat), salad, a few dressing choices, rolls, cake and drinks.

    Real food is going to cost less than printing a bunch of cookbooks and sending them. 

    I would love bacon wrapped around anything, but what an odd choice of things to make.
