One thing people never think about is serving utensils. I don’t know how many weddings I have been to where the family & friends bring food, but no serving spoons. The result is a nice hot dish served with a little plastic fork, or the pasta spoon multi-tasking into the beans and fruit salad. YUK! People bring roast meat and have no proper knife to slice it, leaving the dish to be hacked on with a butter knife. Then, who washes the pans & dishes? Usually the bride & groom are left to sweep up & empty garbage late into the day. There needs to be a designated clean-up crew. No one thinks about that.

Great advise! Wish I would have had it when I did my first DIY wedding 15 years ago! We did have people bring in the food, but didn’t have a clue as to how much would be needed per person. The wedding went off just fine, but that was probably due more to the fact that it was just family and friends than any great success on our part! Great advice to anyone wanting to keep wedding costs low.
