Mail Order Ham – Honey Baked, Country, Smoked & Spiral Hams

The event is soon approaching, and you want it to be memorable. Only thing is, since the economy took a turn for the worse, the pennies are kinda tight at the moment, and getting some wedding catering is never cheap. Without spending alot of money even your event can be successful.

• Doing the food yourself. Now with an event you’ve got hundreds of things to organise, and if someone has been hired to take care of it- that’ll help. BUT, you gotta save the pennies, and your not liking the prices the outdoor catering firm has quoted. So although it may be abit more of a burden, and another thing you will have to do, the easiest and cheapest way is to do it yourself. Now, this could prove a blessing in disguise, as you will have total control over what you will be having at the event. So you can customise and make that one special dish for the vegan.
• Draft in favours. Now that you’ve decided to take this one, you need to call in some favours from friends. Call in those favours and get family members or anyone with time on their hands to help out. Its gonna be a case of all hands on deck for this one, and while ‘too many chefs spoil the broff’, just the right amount can work out just fine.
• Buy a cheaper brand of food when shopping for the party. Your guests probably wont even noticed if you swap for a cheaper brand if you dont mention it. The stigma over buying cheaper brand food shouldnt really be around in the middle of a recession. This will save on some more pennies, allowing you maybe to buy more or put that money saved into something else.
• Use your house as the venue. Not as glamourous at what you had planned, but it can still sit well with your guests. The money you’ve saved can now be used for something more important -like you mortage. For bigger events you could even use a location out in the countryside for a touch if class, if you can get permission.
