Serving Styles
There are generally 3 different serving styles used to serve to your guests. Each serving style also has its own price.
Served Course Meal
You can pick out at least three different kinds of appetizers, mains, and desserts so that your guests can pick out what they want. Course meals are served to the guests one by one starting with an appetizer, main course, and then dessert. You can even decide to have a 5 or 6 course meal if you want to but that can be a bit expensive. Not only are you paying for the food but also for the servers.
Tip: For served/plated meals remember to include the food options with checkboxes on your RSVP’s.
Served Full Meal
You can usually save some money when you have the whole meal served rather than multi-courses. The appetizer, main, and dessert are served to each person on a single plate. You can opt to have the dessert on a separate plate if you would like.
Buffet Style
This is a great way to serve food especially if you have a limited budget. The food is set on a long table and served in big serving dishes. Guests can come to the table and get a plate of food themselves. Just make sure that you have enough food so that everybody has the chance to have a piece of everything that is served.
Conclusion
These are just some of the main courses for a wedding. You can either hire a caterer or make homemade food with the help of family and friends. There are few greater ways to satisfy your guests then to ensure they have bellies full of food and wine.
