Save some money for your wedding by cutting some costs on your reception menu

Your wedding reception is going to be one of the most expensive parts of the Big Day – and the menu you serve can definitely be among the priciest items you will have to pay for this event. How to save money for your wedding by cutting costs on your reception menu? We have some great tips for you – so read on to find out more.

• Don’t be afraid to be a little non-traditional. This is how unique and memorable weddings are born most of the times, so it can actually bring plenty of benefits. For example, you could replace the more common cuts of meat with something less popular (such as pork belly or local fish). This will add a special touch to your menu and it can surely save you a lot of money too.
• Leave the appetizers aside. If your budget is rather low, offering passed appetizers might very easily push you over your financial limits. We suggest you leave these aside. They are a nice addition, but they are not absolutely crucial – so leave them aside to focus on a more delicious, fresher and more satisfying main meal.
• Cut off on the cake. In general, wedding cakes can be truly expensive – so this is another way by which you can save money on the wedding menu. Instead of a large, multi-tiered cake, serve a smaller one and a special candy bar – or have a small cake for the cutting ceremony and serve guests with sheet cake in the same flavors.
