The wedding banquet is just as important as the wedding ceremony itself. The mood of your guests will depend on the choice of the wedding menu. By following a few simple tips, you can find the right menu. And your guests will be satisfied and satisfied.
The more guests, the more difficult it is to put together a wedding menu. It is necessary to carefully select the dishes, taking into account the tastes of different people if possible. It is necessary to find out in advance the preferences of the guests, even if there are 70 of them. It is likely that the list of excluded will include people who, for religious or ideological reasons, will not be able to taste this or that product. In addition, some may simply have allergies.
This does not mean that you need to prepare a separate dish for each. It is enough to make sure that they are not mixed products. For example, a separate beef dish, pork dish, vegetable dish. Such an abundance of dishes should be enough for everyone to find something to their liking.
A portion for everyone
After you have compiled a list of guests and clarified their tastes, you need to calculate the wedding menu for one person. The norm is about 600 grams of salads and cold appetizers, 1-2 servings of hot dishes, 1-2 servings of dessert and 1 slice of cake. It is estimated that for 10 people there is an average of 2 kg of wedding cake. From here we find out that for 70 people you need to order a cake weighing from 14 kg.
Don't forget about alcoholic drinks. The more types of drinks are presented, the better. It is estimated that for 10 people you need 3-4 bottles of strong alcohol, 3-4 bottles of wine and 2-3 bottles of champagne. To get the number of booze per 70 people, simply multiply the number of bottles by seven.
General recommendations for preparation
But remember that everyone has different appetites. Therefore, take with a margin. Agree, it is much better to leave excess food after a banquet than to see off hungry guests. Moreover, the leftover food can be useful for the second wedding day.
As for the financial part, on average, you should start from the amount of 1500-2500 rubles per person, depending on the products. But if you live in a small town, then the amount can be significantly reduced.
Do not forget that many cafes and restaurants help the newlyweds in the preparation of the menu. For you they will make a detailed description of what products and in what quantities are needed. They will take into account all your wishes. Of course, if there are few guests, then the menu is quite possible to compose yourself. But in the case of 70 guests, it is better to ask the administrator of a cafe or restaurant for help. This option will be more economical and efficient.
