Food

Kayleigh, 4 December, 2023 at 11:52 Posted on Planning 0 10
I’m getting married and I’ve gone for a two course meal, so we will get a hot dinner and a pudding for after the ceremony .
I was going to have a buffet at the night time, but I decided to have a barbecue package instead just a basic barbecue package, you get burgers, hotdogs, buns bacon onions, cheese and sauce and salad is this okay for evening food? as I can’t help but overthink it and think it’s not enough but I’m already spending so much on the two course meal in the afternoon so I’m trying to work it out to be a bit cheaper for myself

    That sounds great!
    Some people may not eat at all in the evening, after being full from dinner but those that want - BBQ food is always a safe bet for most people. Also worth remembering to only cater to about 70% of your guests in the evening, between people heading home and/or not being hungry after dinner, you aren’t gonna need to cater for everyone Smiley smile

    Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! A barbecue for the evening sounds like a fun, casual option. Burgers, hot dogs, salads etc. should be perfectly fine, especially if people will still be full from the afternoon meal. The best part is really spending time with your loved ones. Try not to stress and enjoy your special day!

    I think it’ll be plenty. Especially if you end up having a wedding cake also?

    Apologies for the oversight! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Your plan for a two-course meal followed by a barbecue package sounds delightful. A barbecue spread with burgers, hotdogs, and an assortment of toppings and salads is a fantastic choice for the evening celebration. It's natural to consider budgeting, especially after investing in a lovely two-course meal earlier in the day. Your decision to balance cost while offering delicious options shows thoughtfulness. On a side note, have you considered exploring the best Mexican breakfast in San Antonio for any pre-wedding festivities? The city offers a delightful array of flavorful morning options that could add a vibrant touch to your celebration! Wishing you a wonderful wedding day filled with joy and fantastic food moments!

    Your barbecue package idea for the evening sounds perfect! After a two-course meal, guests will likely appreciate the more relaxed and casual option of a barbecue. It's a great balance between offering enough food without going overboard. Plus, barbecue food like burgers, hotdogs, and salads are crowd-pleasers and create a fun, laid-back atmosphere for your reception. Don't worry too much – it sounds like you've thought this through well and are making great choices for your special day!

    A basic barbecue is perfect after a formal meal fun, relaxed, and crowd-pleasing! For variety, maybe add veggie skewers or grilled chicken, or check out Pearl Lemon halal catering for more options!
