So our caterer told us we had to have things planned out before the end of this year so we could get this years pricing as his prices are increasing. So the other night we had everything laid out.
The problem we had was this. We couldn't figure out who to feed and what to feed. Because of this we didn't know what time to have it at so we couldn't give our Officiate the time for the ceremony. She has a wedding already that day at 6 or 6:30 so we had to work around that. So here it is.
5pm - ceremony 5:30 - start pictures etc 6:30 - finish up pictures go to reception site 7-7:30 - reception line mingle etc 7:30 - food which will be a light cold buffet, 3 salads, cold cuts and rolls, veggie platter, pickle platter and cheese and cracker platter, cake cutting, serve cake and desserts which will include pastries and fruit platter Speeches during desserts After that dance
My friend who is our caterers stepfather was a great help in getting this sorted out. So now it's done YAY I feel a HUGE relief.
Now after christmas we have to start in invitations.
Congratulations on nailing down the schedule! I know what a relief that is. Don't forget to leave extra time in your mind, because things always go long. You will probably be much more organized than I was, but I tried hard, and still things ran late. The only thing that matters is that YOU are the princess that day! Good luck with your invites!
