Planning a wedding can be a bit overwhelming—but one aspect that doesn’t have to be is the catering! Here are some popular catering trends of 2016 you might adopt to save you some money and headache. Delivery Getting a family friend for the job is usually not the best option—unless they serve large groups for a living already. Hiring catering delivery in Fort Worth is absolutely a viable option. Coordinating time and scheduling with someone else, and then letting them take care of the food dilemma, is going to be a huge stress off of your back. Eat Family-Style What does this mean exactly? It’s the equivalent of going to a cook-out. Everyone gets their own food buffet-style, and can go back for seconds if they feel the notion. Eating family-style means round tables and the ability to embrace a cozier, more cost-effective decorating scheme. Food Stations Food stations at a wedding reception are when you incorporate multiple food options at different tables, making separate buffet lines for different kinds of food. It may sound counter-intuitive to incorporate multiple food options to save money. However, that depends on the food you’re choosing. What about a potato bar? Mashed or baked potatoes can be dressed up as simply or as elaborately by each guest as they like. It may even be fun to include some non-traditional toppings just for fun. Gatsby Goodness The era of champagne glasses and shrimp cocktails is coming back as a wedding dining theme in 2016. There’s just something so classic and sophisticated about that jazzy cocktail look made popular through the release of the newest version of the film, The Great Gatsby, for a formal event. Miniaturization This might not go over well for a main course, but if you’re wanting to skip out on courses altogether and incorporate an assortment of different foods in smaller portions, you can! Miniaturization, or small portions of different food types, have become a popular catering option as well. This option allows for more food variety because of the smaller portions. Bar Boundaries An immediate way to save on wedding costs is to limit the variety of alcohols served. Sticking to wine, beer, and, perhaps, champagne can make a whole world of difference. Do you still want to have the option for specialty drinks? You can include one, maybe two, just to allow for the option. Give-and-Take If you choose to emphasize one area of the meal style, that means that you can cut back in another and that’s acceptable. If you’re skipping the three-course meal, you can contribute more appetizer options and desserts. If you aren’t, you can limit appetizers before a meal to just a few. Bear in mind how much someone normally eats for a meal so that you don’t over-serve on food. The best way to start planning is to get in touch with someone who does catering delivery in Fort Worth, TX, and see what options they recommend to fit you and your venue.
