Recipe: What to Serve for a Casual Wedding - Here are Some Ideas for you....

Hi!

Congratulations on the wonderful news! You can make this a beautiful occasion even with a tight budget. The secret is to making that dollar stretch....

Since it will be outdoors, you can set up a long table with a white tablecloth, get some of those pint size Mason canning jars, fill with water and daisies and greens for a "Country Living" effect. Tie a little raffia around the neck of the bottle. It's Labor Day Weekend, so it will be fun...think country, think outdoors, think breezy and fun!

The weather is hot so you want to keep things cool. I would serve:

Punch
have a large metal bin filled with ice and beverages
I'm thinking like a large garden galvanized metal bin...some galvanized metal watering cans filled with flowers...
