There are numerous factors which should be considered while planning wedding food, the first being the number of guests as well as your budget. For a big wedding having a large number of guests one can plan a lavish spread with cuisines from across the globe to suit different palates. On the other hand heavy evening snacks could be planned for a small informal gathering. Here are some wedding food ideas that will etch your wedding day into the memory of your guests for a long time:

If you have decided on an informal wedding ceremony by extending invitations to a small bunch of near and dear ones or if you have a tight budget, then plan a morning ceremony followed by a multi cuisine brunch at the reception. You could maybe fit in an exotic menu including English beans, European rich creamy eclairs, bacon and sausages from US and exotic collection of cheese from Greece.

If you are planning an elaborate day ceremony followed by a lunch at the reception then you need to serve something more elaborate and heavier. Pasta and an exotic collection of soups and salads are increasingly being preferred for such wedding parties.
A spit roast can also find a special place in almost all wedding venues as first it is possible to take the spit machine anywhere. So you can include a spit whether you are having reception in a hotel or have decided to erect a marquee at a beautiful country-side as it is easy to prepare this dish anywhere. Also, spit roasts are generally liked by people. By adding a portion of salad and apple sauce to a spit roast, you can make them appear more appealing and taste better. Having a spit roast in your wedding menu could also help in considerably decrease your catering bills.

While planning a wedding reception dinner, you have to plan a grand party and should also increase your budget as along with food special emphasis has to be laid on the drinks. You need to serve good quality wine and cocktails to the guests and make arrangements for fruit juices and non alcoholic beverages for teetotalers.

It is important to keep in mind the tastes of the invited guests while planning your wedding menu. Ensure that at least one fourth of your wedding menu contains vegetarian dishes and salads for vegetarians, fitness freaks and also people who are diabetic or are on a low cholesterol diet.

Last but not the least, after planning your menu, selection of a suitable caterer who will come up with lip smacking dishes that are also well presented is equally important. And don't forget to order a lovely wedding cake from a well known confectioner or selected caterer.
