My wedding is in May and we are having the recpetion and ceremony in my parents backyard. Its perfect. The only thing is i am trying to figure out what type of dishes to cook. We are having about 70 ppl and are on a tigth budget so no catering. I dont want to go the route of asking ppl to bring dishes to my wedding because i think it is not very classy. Well anyways i am wondering if anyone has any ideas on what i would be able to make the prior day or two and freeze until the day of. I will have a couple family members prepare the food on the day of so i wont have to. I already though of lasanga but am not set on it just yet.

baked chicken, you could have a whole bunch of trays preseasoned 2 days in advance to be ready to pop in the oven the morning of the wedding. of course the sides can be salad. potatoe salad, cole slaw and rolls. whatcha think!!or another thing for main course so to not heat up the house is cold cut platter with the sides stated above. that could be done a day or 2 in advanced and it only has to be pulled out.

Super Walmarts ahve cheap and very good friend chicken you can pick up that day and put in nescosJello Salad You can rent or purchase nescos. Nescos can run from 50-199 dollars. You can also go to a local card store, and for $10.00 get disposable nescos. They even come with the sterno. The veggies you can palce in bags until the day of, same with the pasta salad and 3 bean salad and lettuce salad. Rest you can make the day or 2 ahead and warm in oven or in nescos. Need to stay away from the mayo dishes unless right after you plan on taking time out to put things away. CONGRATS by the way!

Why don't you and/or your folks make 3 different types of pasta sauces eg. alfredo, meatsauce, marinara. And 3 different types of pasta eg. angel hair, bowtie, penne. Have grilled Italian sausages, Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and meatballs available on the buffet table so ppl can create their own combo. Offer garlic bread, Parmesan, crushed red pepper.

I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
