Should I serve food at the wedding reception and if so what kind, if not why?
I think you can reasonably do both in fancy ways without spending too much money. If you’re going to do a sit-down dinner, I would focus on the actual meal instead of things like appetizers and soups and make one really nice meal. This way you’re not spending a ton of money on stuff you don’t really need and will likely end up throwing out anyway. If you’re going to do hors d’oeurves, serve them on classy trays with champagne. Instant class and you won’t break your budget. I would indicate on my invitations which you plan to do. This way your guests won’t come expecting a sit-down meal if you’re just serving hors d’oeurves. Just remember that your guests love you and are happy for you and what you serve at the meal time shouldn’t be the biggest focus of your day. Congrats on your wedding!
