We ended up not doing it....but my original plan had been to have a "covered dish reception"
in the end we bought everything from Sams and made all the food ourselves, we stuck with finger foods instead of a sit down meal. The wedding was at 2 which meant the reception started at 3....thats between lunch and dinner, no need to provide a MEAL at that time. So you might want to think about "time of day" when deciding your budget.
another thing....alcohol is not a "must". We didnt have it....I wasnt paying for everybody to get drunk so they could drive home lol we supplied sodas/tea/water I think we bought 100 dollars worth of drinks and had a several 12 packs of the soda left.
sidenote....we bought rootbeer for Dave and his dad cause they dont drink soda...would you believe we actually had to go and restock it cause thats what everybody was grabbing lol guess thats what happens when you splurge and buy IBC
