Food at a wedding reception

We hired a village hall and asked all the family and local friends to bring food to contribute towards a buffet meal. That way everyone gets to pick their own meals - kids included.

We had salads, pasta, various sandwiches, vol-au-vents, bread, cheese, quiche, pizza, and all kinds of picnic type foods.

The hall had a kitchen attached with tea urns etc (friends helped out with making tea) and we went to france for the alcohol so there were no additional charges etc.

Best wedding reception I ever went to was a Bring Your Own do. :T It was is a big old barn on a summer afternoon donkey's years ago. We all brought something for a shared table and the bride and groom laid on the booze and soft drinks. The weather was fabulous too (which helped).

Thanks Penny Watcher. Everyone said what a great day it was. There were lots of kids there too and they all enjoyed it. There was lots of food left and even wine left so everyone went home with something extra too!!
