To feed my evening guests chips and cake...

[Mooey89]

We’re getting married on a tight budget next summer...

Reception is a mega chilled informal affair... we’re having a late afternoon wedding and not having a formal sit down dinner but having big pans of Paella/street food type stuff, then Eaton mess for dessert...

The trouble is, we have quite a few extras coming in the evening (small ceremony venue & met at work so loads of colleagues!) and I’m really stuck for what to feed people later in the evening!

I was thinking of fish and chip shop chips wrapped in paper cones... wedding cake, maybe some bread and cheese? It’s a seaside wedding so thought this could be fun! BUT it’s then a lot of shitty food!

Any other ideas very welcome... whole wedding budget is 4K so trying to keep costs down but I obviously don’t want hungry guests!

I have genuinely never ever ate the food in the evening at a wedding when I was a day guest or evening except the one time I was heavily pregnant.

Do whatever you want .Its your day.

I went to an evening do a couple of years ago, and we had chips and chocolate cake (their wedding cake). Loved it!

We had chips and bacon rolls for our evening buffet. It went down a treat everyone loved it.

Haven’t read whole thread so sorry if repeating.

We attended a whole day and evening wedding. Sit down meal in the afternoon, big plates of chips, bacon & baps in the evening. I don’t eat red meat so just had Chip baps. They went down a treat!

We went to Costco and bought some bits and some drink. We ended up having our evening do very much open invite with bring your own drink and nibbles with guests being told there would be food and drink but they were welcome to.bring stuff. One amazing relaxed evening.

We had a cheese board as was the cheapest option!

If it's good enough for Kate Windlet it's good enough for most of us

I went to a wedding this year, it was on a budget and they served pasty's and peas (we are in the north west here 😂) and a little buffet for the kids, some sandwiches, tuna pasta, cakes and sweets....it was brilliant!

We're having a seaside wedding and are serving mini fish and chips to the evening guests, I think it's perfect for a seaside wedding and who doesn't love fish and chips

As it's at the seaside fish and chips would be appropriate. Just make sure no fish allergies! Local chippy may do a deal for you boxing up portions.
