Wedding Reception Food
For those who opt for an outdoor wedding reception, there are several ways food can be served. Following are some popular and money saving methods for serving food at an outdoor wedding reception:
Barbecue. At a casual reception, it is common to serve barbecue items such as hamburgers, chicken, or ribs. To make your barbecue buffet-style, ask your guests to forego a wedding gift in exchange for bringing their own special dish to accompany the barbecue. Although, if you do this, be sure to confirm with your guests beforehand so that you don't have everyone bringing the same dish.
Buffet. Ask your guests to bring a favored dish instead of a wedding gift. If cost is an issue, serve vegetable, cheese, fruit, and meat trays with dips and other snacks rather than hosting a huge meal.
Theme. Create a theme to base your reception meal around, such as Mexican or Hawaiian. Choose an outdoor theme that is simple, easy and affordable.
Wedding Reception Drinks
The bar tab can often account for one of the largest wedding expenses. Following are tips on serving drinks at your reception without incurring a major expense:
Semi-open bar. Offer several beverages for free, such as beer and all non-alcoholic drinks, but have guests pay a nominal fee for mixed drinks, such as a dollar per drink to cover some of the expense.
Bring your own. Request that guests bring their own drinks to the outdoor reception in lieu of bringing a wedding gift.
Bulk purchase. Buy your spirits in bulk from a wholesaler.
Multiple purchases. Purchase the drinks over a time period rather than all at once to spread the cost and payments.
The beauty of hosting one is that it provides the flexibility to be casual or formal. A more casual theme will leave you with more room to reduce the expenses associated with the wedding reception food and drinks.

Save Money on Happy Hours and Food and Drink Specials
At times when everybody lives on a tighter budget looking for money saving opportunities is high priority. People still love to go out, meet friends after work, enjoy a good dinner but it can get expensive to do that. Happy hours and discounted food specials are really popular among people every age group. Restaurants are trying to fulfill that need with discounted menus and happy hours. But discovering these deals is not that easy. Happy hours are not really advertised that much and finding out who has specials and when is almost impossible. Even online you have to dig deep.
Still, looking online for coupons is really popular. But not everybody wants to spend hours on the computer to search for the best deal and then it still needs to be printed out and taken to the restaurants. To be honest, not everybody likes to show up with paper clippings. Another way to look for bargains is to search local papers but most restaurants do not want to spend the money on costly ads anymore.
Membership programs offer members to save money and to find deals online. Restaurants and bars often post specials to spoil members with amazing food and drink deals. Members don't have to clip out coupons anymore, they simply show their membership card to receive specials - it is like carrying a whole coupon book in the wallet. Some of these membership programs have a mobile phone application what makes it even easier to find the perfect deal on the go.
Restaurants and bars have always been looking for a way to advertise their happy hours to attract new guests. Customer satisfaction and appreciation is their top priority but it can be expensive to reach those goals. Restaurants have to look for a new way of advertising to reach out to new customers. One of the best and cost effective ways is being spoken about and recommended in blogs and other social media outlets.
It is very popular to share experiences on social media sites and people rely more and more on reviews and tips coming from sites like yelp and facebook. You know of a good restaurant that has good food and happy hour offers, you pass it on. Restaurants and bars can be certain that people will recommend the places where they get their specials and extended happy hours because all of us just love bargains and if you can enjoy more for less cash, that is called a real deal.
