How to Cut Wedding Food Costs

The average wedding in San Diego costs well over $30,000.00.  One way a couple can cut their budget without cutting their menu is by discreetly printing "finger food reception to follow" or "hors d'oeuvres reception to follow" on their invitations.



From succulent dishes to savory sauces to sweet treats, there are dozens of options for delicious finger foods suitable for a wedding reception.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Attractive fruit trays with chocolate, cheesecake, or whipped topping dips
  • Fondue stations or chocolate fountains for dipping
  • Deli trays with assorted meats and cheeses
  • Small snacks such as pillow mints, chocolate candies, or nuts
  • Wings with a hot buffalo glaze or barbeque sauce
  • Popcorn chicken or shrimp
  • Shrimp cocktail
  • Mini quiches, stuffed mushrooms, or vegetable rolls
  • Assorted cheese and cracker trays with mustards or other sauces
  • Meatballs with assorted savory sauces
  • Dainty tea sandwiches, such as cucumber or chicken salad
  • Bite-sized hamburgers

When choosing a finger food menu, always consider the varied tastes of your guests by providing a wide enough selection, so anyone with unusual diets can enjoy the wedding feast.
