The menu on the day is always vital, with the wedding breakfast, wedding dinner and breakfast and the main even, the cake- all of which can be damaging to your budget.

To make sure you have delicious food on your special day without spending too much money here are some suggestions from the team at myhousecatering.com, to make the most out of a limited budget.

1. Keep it simple Your wedding day is always a chance to show off many couples making the mistake of serving extravagant and lavish food. However the problem is that not only is this very expensive as you will be paying for top chefs, more staff and highest quality ingredients - but your guests might not even like it. Keep food simple, with easy home-made classics with organic ingredients, this way its easier on your bank account and your guests are more likely to enjoy a more classic menu.

2. Don't rule out a Buffet The wedding buffet has suffered in previous years with a lot of people perceiving a buffet as unsuitable and not "posh" enough for a wedding. There are a lot of advantages to a buffet, guests can eat what they want ...
... , when they want and pick from a variety of dishes. When serving a buffet don't believe that the quality of your food will be any less- it won't. Buffets are also ideal for a longer wedding - if guests get hungry into the night instead of nipping to the nearest takeaway- put on a late night buffet with a selection of favourite snacks.

3. Get help from family and friends The average wedding cake costs around $300, a really expensive extra to your big day. However if a family member or close friend is particularly good at baking then ask them to make you a cake- it will probably be more delicious. Your family and friends can also help greatly when it comes to the organization of a wedding, whether it be decorating the venue or helping out with catering, it is easier to trust friends and family and than paid staff. If you are providing a buffet, ask if family members can bring their own dish, to make the event more personal.

4. Alternative menu ideas A sit down meal and a buffet might not be to everyone's disposition, but there are any alternatives out there to make your wedding a little more different but no less special. If you are having a summer wedding and the weather is sunny and warm, why not have a barbeque complete with a salad bar and condiments station or for the more rustic of weddings how about a hog roast? Wedding Catering Dallas advises that if you have a favourite style of cuisine in mind, why not have a selection of dishes from that nation, Italian menus and Thai menus at weddings are extremely popular.

5. Choose the best caterers High quality caterers need not be the most expensive, with many having years of experience ensuring your wedding is a success and perfect. Wedding caterers will usually have a range of wedding menus suitable for all budgets and dietary requirement, most caterers also provide the option of designing your own custom menu . Good caterers really are worth the money, they will cook and prepare delicious food and take care of everything so you don't have to worry.

There are a number ways to reduce the costs of your wedding catering, without damaging the quality of the food or service. Employing the best caterers ensures your guests will be happy and you can enjoy your wedding day stress-free.
