I've often wondered how I made it to adulthood, myself, let-alone, senior citizenry, i.e. old age.
My apology for being short/harsh with Jesica. I have worked with many event planners, as I am quite certain most caterers have. The best will taste your Caesar dressing and critique the quality of olive oil. Every event planner, with whom I worked, was very food familiar. I can't imagine being a party/event/wedding planner without having a strong food background. To me, her post simply read, "I volunteered to plan my sister's wedding. What do I do?"
In no way am I being critical of small weddings. As a caterer, when the number is 100 or 150, it's still basically the same process. Boost the number from 100 to 350 and we're looking at a change in logistics. (I know I'm preaching to the choir
) My comment was simply..."As long as you're having 100; why not 150, if there's that number of family and friends? Why risk the hurt feelings of being excluded?"
And, yes...I think wedding receptions are special. They can be simple and inexpensive, yet, elegant and truly memorable.
I hope Jesica's sister has a wonderful wedding, a tremendous reception, and decades of wedded happiness.
