Does a wedding reception always include dinner? Some wedding receptions skip the traditional sit-down dinner for something more casual and cost-effective.

Why People Don’t Want Dinner

You get your standard-issue chicken breast, mashed potatoes, filet, and so on. If you ever try to add anything to the menu or spice it up a bit, it’s going to cost you.

The Meals Should Fit With the Wedding Theme

Skipping the fancy dinner is a great choice for people who are doing things like having a small beach wedding, a backyard reception, and other non-traditional celebrations.

A dessert buffet is a terrific choice for smaller wedding receptions or parties where you want to feel more relaxed.

Make Up for It With the Drinks

You should probably serve some type of food to help offset the drinks, but you don’t have to pay for a full dinner when people love the drinks menu.
