My oldest DD is getting married in May. There are 250+ people on her guest list. I'm thinking about half will actually attend the wedding. We have been looking for a caterer (that we can afford). My DD21 keeps saying that we should do the food ourselves. I can not begin to imagine doing food for that many people. I'm stressed as is it and I think I would be a total wreck the day of the wedding. Etiquette-wise, she is getting married in the late evening and we should serve a sit down dinner. When discussing foods with the caterers, it is so confusing to me because they have soooooo many choices. Can someone help me with some ideas? Is it too much for us to try to accomplish this major task by ourselves (I do have family that would help)? And what would be the most frugal foods to serve? Her finace's Aunt is making the wedding cake and groom's cake... so we don't have to worry about that part. That is her gift to them. We just need to figure out all the rest. Thanks for any help/advice!
