How To Save On Food For Your Party

How can I save on food for my party?

One of the best ways to save money on food is not to over-order. People have a tendency in wanting to do so many hors d'œuvre in the beginning, and then throw a full dinner, and then this lavish dessert. If you have the money, it's nice. If you're working with a specific budget, one of the best ways is to put out some nice fruit and cheese as the guests arrive. Then, go into a nice buffet-style meal. That'll save you dollars because you'll have to have less employees. Then, just do a really nice dessert. Don't over-order. If you're having 75 people, order for 75. The caterers should make sure that there's always about a 10% overage. Remember, they have to bring food to feed their staff, and their staff generally will eat last. This way, if you have an unexpected guest show up, they won't be without a meal.
