well i''ve cut my 70 down to 50.....but i''m giong to talk to my grand-mother first because some of the people are family and i want to know if she recommends me cutting them out....they''re like step cousins and i could careless if they are there and i would much rather have my friends there...after i cut out some people on the list that i thought we could cut out and people that aren''t eating...we have 225 people...and she still has not cut her 152 down....so hopefully we can cut some of those people out too and get below 200...but who knows. Can we plan for 200 and just hope that a bunch of people do not plan on coming?

did you decide on a cake and punch wedding?

or, if you are going to do food, what, exactly, is the caterer going to provide for $2 per head. make sure it is spelled out.
I cook for large groups, and, sorry, I'm wary/nervous about this. I don't believe the caterer can provide much for that price.

ha ha me too.

one of the best weddings i ever went to was a ren faire/sca wedding. we all wore our best garb, so no wedding dress/tux expenses were involved.

the groom paid for the church, hall, janitor, and pastor. we set up medieval tents on the lawn and enclosed the area the night before. the whole thing was outsdie so we didn't have to pay the air conditioning fee for the sanctuary.

In the sca some people are known as good feast cooks. In lieu of wedding present we feast cooks organized and brought our best entrees each to feed 25 people. one person was in charge of punch, another friend made the cake. another friend played music or played taped music. a good time was had by all. The bride and groom solely wanted home depot gift cards to fix up the old house they had bought. there was no honeymoon.

i would say the whole wedding was under 1000.

eta: i made beef bourginione (sp) and homemade noodles. also reporters showed up.

eta: people were assigned paper plates, and other supplies. and chores. Heck it was just another event for us.
