DIY wedding caterers is a great way to feed a lot of hungry people. Although it is not easy, it can be done if you plan carefully and look at all your options. Before you begin planning, but, look at the following ideas to create the perfect catered wedding.
1. Make it simple
As you decide what to serve at your reception, take into account your talents and time will be available to you, and make the menu as simple as you can.
Find products for your menu that you can make in advance and stored until the day of your wedding, and need not be complex, difficult recipes, there will only stress you out.
2. Ask for help
You probably have friends and relatives who love to cook, so ask around to see if people can help with appetizers, salads, and even bread. Those who assist or even take care of the cost of the dish, they do everything to help you save a little more.
3. Think of health regulations
It is important when preparing your own food to follow health rules like a professional caterer would. Wash your hands often and keep your work spaces clean. Avoid cross-contamination, especially when working with meat and be sure that products are both cooked and stored properly.
If you have a summer wedding, be sure you have plenty of refrigerator space to keep all the food cold. You should have more than enough space, although you have to beg refrigerators from relatives or rent them from specialty stores.
4. Remember the tools
Do not forget to count where you want to eat with the mouth and what tools will be needed. Plates, bowls, spoons, knives and forks will all probably be necessary, and you must also napkins and tablecloths to complete the ensemble.
You can probably rent these items from a specialty shop and the shop can even clean them up afterwards for a little extra money that will be worth it.
5. Find free service Help
Even if you cook the whole meal, you will obviously not be the one serving food and drinks, so get people to volunteer for these jobs, or hire a few local teenagers for a small fee. Before they earn, even if you or someone you put in charge must be sure that they know what they are doing.
6. Think About Little Things
Professional kitchens have done it for years, but you can easily forget about the salt and pepper, sugar, butter, storage containers, bottle openers, ice buckets, ashtrays and such. Make a complete list of everything you need, and double check it a few days before the wedding.
7. Find bargains
You can search for deals on stored material such as flour, sugar, butter and even in the months prior to your wedding. To have these things on hand will be useful later, and you will save lots of money if you shop around for them.
8. Shop Local
Local shops will have the best quality meat and produce, and they are also likely to deliver food to your door for free, making it a less pre-wedding errands to run!
Hopefully these tips will help you understand what goes into catering your own wedding, but you will still need to think carefully about what to serve, and how. Good luck!
