Easy DIY Wedding Dinner Tips
A wedding does not have to mean paying $100 a head (or more!) to a caterer. The DIY route might be the route for you if you are looking to have a great wedding on a budget. These are some easy and practical ideas for DIY wedding dinners that your guests will really enjoy.
It is wise to plan a more casual wedding if you are looking to have a DIY dinner. When everything about the wedding is informal, from the gown to the silver wedding jewelry to the setting, a casual dinner will fit right in. Since your guests will expect more haute cuisine, doing yoru own wedding dishes for a formal wedding can be daunting. So do yourself a favor and choose a site for your wedding where downhome fare will be a big hit, such as a backyard, state park, or beach.
Barbeque is one of the most popular meal choices for a DIY wedding reception. A lot of the foods are easy to make ahead, so that means there is a lot less cooking to do on the actual wedding day. If you have a friend that is a skilled pitmaster, ask them to help you out! But even if you don’t, you can pull off a barbeque wedding dinner. It’s very easy to order the actual barbeque meat from a restaurant you love, and then you can provide all the tasty sides. It is an economical compromise and you will know for a fact that the food will be delicious. Though barbeque sides very by geographic region, there are some sides that everyone will like, including corn on the cob, seasoned collard greens, baked beans, black eyed peas, coleslaw, biscuits or cornbread, and fresh fruit. For an outside dinner, use citronella candles and food tents to repel bugs.
For the DIY bride, a picnic is another very doable dinner idea. The best thing about this menu theme is it is easy to make it casual or dress it up for a formal ceremony. If you picture yourself wearing a ’20s style wedding gown with pearl wedding jewelry, style your picnic reception like a Great Gatsby lawn party with croquet sets and mint juleps. Or use red checkered tablecloths and mason jar centerpieces for a more classic country picnic theme. As for the food, easy make-ahead options include friend chicken, sandwiches, fruit salad, German potato salad, bean salad, pasta salad – all the tasty summer salads. Vinaigrette bases are lighter and keep better in the heat, which makes them a better choice than foods that have mayonnaise and may spoil quickly. Consider something like a strawberry shortcake or fruit pies for dessert in lieu of a tiered cake? Your guests will love it!
DIY wedding receptions are also a great choice for indoor weddings. Italian food is one of the easiest kinds of food to make for a large group of guests, and the price per serving is inexpensive enough to please any DIY bride. With an Italian dinner, family style service is a good choice beacuse it both works great and is also conducive to conversation. Serve up heaping dishes of pasta, a few different choices of sauces, and platters of meatballs and sausages. Fresh salad and tasty garlic bread on the side will complete the menu. The Italian menu allows you to easily accomodate vegetarian guests as long as you have one sauce without meat. This type of menu is a better choice for a wedding with more formal stylings, such as an ornate gown and beautiful crystal jewelry for the bride.
If your wedding ceremony is in the late morning, a great choice for a DIY reception is a brunch menu. Many of the foods are easy to make in batches, and brunches certainly lend themselves to buffet service. Serve up waffles, eggs, fresh fruit, muffins, bacon, sausage, and fruit salad. Chafing dishes to keep the food warm are the only special equipment you will need. Mix up batches of Bloody Marys and mimoas to serve and avoid the big expense of an open bar. This is a wonderful DIY wedding menu for a smaller family celebration.
