Today many people choose to have smaller weddings and many times choosing to have a simple wedding in their home with only a close number of people. There are a variety of articles online about how to go about planning and setting up your home wedding. What there is however is a lack of articles that focus on the needs of catering such an event yourself. Some people choose to have a small event catered by someone else, others may choose to have a covered dish reception and still others choose to plan and cater the reception themselves, this article is for everyone but especially focused on the last group, those who are going to plan and cater their own reception.
Depending on how simple or how complicated you are intending on making your reception will determine what types and how many of dinnerware, serving ware, glassware and flatware is needed. In addition to the place settings will you need cake stands, serving trays, or wine buckets? An aspect that is often overlooked is the wine bucket. Generally there are two sizes of buckets available, 4 & 8 quart, 1 bottle of wine or 2 bottles respectively. Along with the previous, it should also be kept in mind that the number and type of plates and flatware needed will be determined by two things, the number of guests and how many courses/offerings you have planned for the reception. Generally at very least you should have a plate for salad, entrée and dessert. Glassware should consist of a water/wine goblet and a champagne flute and finally the flatware needs to be consistent with the courses being served. An example would be if you are service oysters then you need to include forks with the flatware.
When choosing to cater your own reception the budget is often even more in the forefront than when you are hiring to have it catered for you. With this in mind it should be pointed out that much of what you will need to purchase for your reception is available online through various outlets.
