“When you’re speaking to caterers, don’t call it a wedding — instead, call it a party. For example, a friend chose a local donut place for dessert, and she called and asked about pricing for a 100-person wedding: $250. She called back a week later and asked about a 100-person party: $85.”
“Another example: I got married in my in-laws’ backyard (that saved us about $10,000), and our catering was through a local Italian market. When I placed the catering, I spoke about it as a party. The food cost us about $1,200 for 90 people, and it got rave reviews. Of course, there are some instances when you’ll have to call it a wedding, like with the photographer, if you use a venue, etc., but if a vendor won’t see you the day of, say ‘party’!”
