Ways to Reduce Your Party Food Bills

STAFF OR HOST TO SERVE EXPENSIVE CANAPE 

Those prawn, scallops and expensive meats shall be served by staff rather than putting them on buffet or table  for guests to serve themselves. You might  save 40 percent of the total cost. The other way is you can ask your caterer to buy less expensive type of seafoods.

USE LARGE AND COLOURFUL SALAD AND VEGETABLE DISHES

This strategy is showing that you care about your guests to offer them plenty of vegetables. It also show your generosity without having to spend a lot of money. You can use exciting ways to place your foods such as a wok, pan, unusual platters.

SKIP THE CHEESE PLATTER

It’s often the les popular item at some party because guests may not want dairy products. Most guests have had cheese platters at office parties and family get-togethers. No one will miss it and you might save some money. You can find some Vietnamese rice paper rolls here. Get a bunch of fillings and get your guests to make the rice paper rolls themselves. 

SKIP THE ROAST ADD THE ASIAN INSPIRED STATION

Those leg of lamb, large pork roast and chicken roast are too heavy and filling not to mention they are expensive item. Choose a soup or two such as mini Thai pumkin soup would go a long way.

SERVE ALL TIME FAVOURITE DIFFERENTLY

Serve all time favourite in different ways such as mini chicken parma, macaroni in nice palte, mini cheese bites in glass or stick, fish and chips in paper corns. Those crowd pleaser items would come cheaply and show how creative you are.

USE CHICKEN OR PASTA INSTEAD OF EXPENSIVE MEAT CUTS

Most people can be okay with chicken if you cook well. Just get a good sauce and present it different way.

MULTI COURSE TASTING MENU

If you plan a tasting menu of 7 or 8 small courses instead of four big ones, you’ll save some money here.

GO BITE SIZE WITH DESSERT ITEMS

Make tiny desserts and serve them in smaller cup or glass. By controlling portions, you’re saving one-third the price of a full dessert buffet.

SKIP THE SPARKLING WINE FOR TOASTS

Skip the champagne for your special toast. Guests can toast you with the drinks they have in hand. Or look into serving easily available cheaper sparkling wines instead.
