What do you think of the menu I have planned for my daughter's wedding?!
Starter: A selection of peanuts, ready-salted crisps and twiglets
Main: Pasty (vegetable or beef) with sweetcorn and carrots
Dessert: A selection of fresh fruit
There's ALOT of people coming so will be expensive!. Can you think of a way I might be able to cut back on the menu/costs!? Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
Drop the peanuts because some may be allergic to them!.Twiglets are expensive so they can go!.The pasty is a good choice but there is no need for sweetcorn and carrots because there are plenty of veg in the pasty!.Not to seem tight fisted give them some brown sauce with the pasty,Fresh fruit isnt a good idea because they may start throwing it around the room and anyway they will be full after the pasty so there is no need for any dessert!.Give them coffee and biscuits,! but only ONE plain biscuit because chocolate biscuits are expensive and make a mess when dunked in coffee!.That will be almost identical to my daughters reception meal then!.She wasnt married long though i dont think her husband liked the honeymoon i booked for them---One night in Butlins self catering--edit--good idea to trim the pasty!.Do it this way!.Cut a slice out of the middle and join the two halves together!.When you have enough spare slices warm in microwave and mould to shape and you have an extra pasty--simple!.Hope your day goes with a bang !Www@FoodAQ@Com
I agree with the majority, that doesn't relly sound very appetising!.
Imagine your daughter sat down in a lovely delicate white dress and got served a beef pasty!?
Maybe you could develop a menu that caters for more tastes with just the same budget!.
Even making a nice stew or slow cooked dish would be cheap, you could use a cheap cut of meat with lots of yummy veg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fresh fruit tends to get quite expensive!. How about just serving wedding cake as dessert!?
I think that carrots should be the least of your worries with cost!.
I am from the US, and have no idea what vegetable or beef pasties are, but all-in-all it seems like a pretty reasonable spread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To be honest not a lot!.If cost is an issue then just do a buffet with sandwiches sausage rolls etc iceland and most supermarkets do a seletion of party food both savoury and sweet that don't cost the earth!.After all it's your daughters wedding day!.
You could do some pasta salads, rice salad and ordinary salads at hardly any cost!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Is this serious!? Really!? If you are trying to do it on such a tight budget, why not think of having a brunch wedding and just have the fruit!. I don't even know what twiglets are!.!.!. Have brunch, fruit, tea/coffee, punch!. Perhaps some pikelets with jam and cream!. And then serve the wedding cake for dessert!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I was really looking forward to reading this question in full because I'm quite sad and like to think about weddings!. But I hope you're not serious!. I'd be really disappointed if I was serving that at my wedding- sorry! If you are serious, then I'd suggest serving those foods as a buffet rather than bit by bit!. Enjoy the wedding! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you have eve been to an arab wedding then this is not a meal!.
Usually they have traditional arabic food for appetiser
Chicken and vegies and mash for main meal
The Dessert will be Cake and fruits
AND LOUD MUSIC AND DANCING

Sounds fine!. Alot of people go OTT!. You've struck the right balance, imo!. Most people don't remember the meal anyway!. I can't even remember what we had at my own wedding!.
Ok I can see you are joking from the additional details!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Perhaps you can just tell all your guest to eat before they come and serve chip, dip, punch, and a cake!.!.!.!.!. you know, like a 1 year old's birthday partyWww@FoodAQ@Com
Replace the peanuts with styrofoam packaging as it's free and will last longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Its not like you to be this slow!. Why not just sell tickets!. Then your daughter can be really sure of who her true friends are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
