Run out of Food

Worst case scenario, you run out of food at your reception. Whether you are serving cake and champagne, small plates, stations, full sit down dinner, or a buffet, the last thing you want is for your guests to leave hungry.

One way to avoid this is to be clear with your caterer as to your expectations, "Hey, Mr. or Mrs. Caterer, our guests are expecting a full meal, and they eat, so make sure we don't run out of food!"

Sometimes you look a quote for a caterer and notice the prices are pretty low, sometimes too good to be true. And that's because you are expecting a full dinner and they are pricing the meal out as light hors devours.

This would not a good scenario for anyone. So remember to be clear. 50% of your budget will be spent on food, you should get what you are paying for.

Good point. The most important part of a celebration esp. a wedding is the food. As We all know, no events will ever be as successful without food. As for the people involved, they must plan it well and ahead of time. For the event to be successful, you need to have good planning with the help of good planners. Plans about Wedding halls ,Wedding invitations, Wedding photography and Catering should be in top priority. You can find help via this link http://www.yourwedding.in/.

Food should be overflowing during the wedding. When there are more foods, there will be more people. When there are more people, it means more successful and fun. Make a good budget for the food. Ask help from the experts on how to budget the wedding foods esp. if you don't have enough that big budget.
