How to Plan the Perfect Wedding

What are some tips to save on food at an evening wedding reception (dinner)?

Our budget for the entire wedding is $5000 and it looks like the food is going to be the largest expense. We haven’t picked a location for the reception (still lots of time) but I’ve been looking at catering and hotel websites and the buffets and plated food are almost the same price. We’re having around 80-100 people attend and I’d like some tips to keep the food cost down. I’m having a lot of out of towners on my side too.

Thanks for any advice.

There are many places (hotel and banquet halls) that do NOT serve budget meals, and that’s because that’s how they make their money . . FOOD AND LIQUOR so you should consider alternate reception areas where YOU, the Bride and Groom, can control your costs. Keep this in mind . . THE RECEPTION is always fifty percent of your total wedding budget.

Here’s some ways how to control your food costs . .

Avoid serving liquor or control the flow of liquor. Wedding guests love FREE liquor and they will drink and drink at YOUR expense.

Get married in the morning, and then follow that ceremony with breakfast or brunch. BREAKFAST IS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE FULL MEAL you can serve your guests plus you do not have to serve any liquor except for a champagne toast to the Bride and Groom.

Get married at 130PM or 2PM or 230PM. Your guests have already eaten lunch and it’s too early for dinner. Have a dessert reception or just wedding cake and punch. Your dessert reception can include any of these items . . bluebery cobbler . . apple crisp . . your favorite pies . . . brownies . . root beer floats . . make your own ice cream sundaes . . rice krispy treats . . homemade cookies . . cupcakes . . cream puffs . . eclairs . . and a fruit platter.

Get married after 7PM or at sunset. Your guests have already eaten dinner. You can have a dessert reception or just wedding cake and punch.

Ecumenical Reception: Its Challenge and Opportunity $20 “>In 1988 William Rusch wrote a book tracing the development of the idea of reception up to that time. During the intervening years, both reflection on reception and the experience of attempting to engage in it have progressed considerably. >Rusch begins with a bird’s-eye view of the term reception across several disciplines ? law, philosophy, literary criticism ? before homing in on its theological import. He traces its use as a term and as a practice from the New Testament up to the twentieth century, painting a picture of a dynamic process that fosters unity and diversity among churches and spiritual communities. Finally, he examines the new chapter in the history of reception due to the establishment of the ecumenical movement, and considers what will be necessary for it to continue to move the church forward.”

Rethinking the Unity and Reception of Luke and Acts $49.95 “The unity of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles remains a contested subject in contemporary New Testament studies. Editors Andrew F. Gregory and C. Kavin Rowe–both accomplished voices in the ongoing dialogue about Luke-Acts–are joined by an international cast of scholars to challenge deeply imbedded assumptions central to this debate, to propel the discussion forward in substantive new ways, and to illustrate the importance of relating the exegesis of these texts to the history of their reception. The contributors survey the terrain employing the techniques of historical, hermeneutic, and literary criticism and innovative reception-history research to map the overarching interpretive questions currently facing scholars and students of Lukan studies and to locate opportunities for additional research on these ancient documents.>Rethinking the Unity and Reception of Luke and Acts begins from the viewpoint that scholarly consensus on the single authorship of Luke and Acts is not in itself evidence that the books are two volumes in a single work or that they are intended to be read and understood in tandem. Viewing the books as discrete but interrelated narratives invites discussion by the contributors who examine historical evidence pointing toward a new understanding of how these texts were received and read prior to being entered into the biblical canon. Essays also explore the theological implications to be discerned from the canonical placement and perceived function of the books, and the ways in which Acts can be read as a sequel to all four gospels and as an introduction to Pauline and Catholic epistles.>Gregory, Rowe, and their contributors bring together the best examples of contemporary thinking on the Luke-Acts debate to articulate fully and concisely the challenges in reading the foundational unity of the two Lukan works against the divergent viewpoints found in their reception history. In short, the contributors raise provocative and searching questions both about how Luke and Acts were read before they were included in the canon and how they should be read today. The resulting volume is an exemplar in the methodological usefulness of reception history as an avenue to fresh insights into historical interpretation of the New Testament texts.”
