Beach wedding receptions are the perfect place to pull off cheap food and drinks. The whole idea of marrying on the beach is to keep it casual and fun. Consider a few things here with beach wedding receptions. Consider the available facilities accessible to you and the people bringing in food, if there are any. Consider what kind of set-up you will have as far as tables and or areas for guests to sit. Consider any restrictions when it comes to preparing food at the site, when necessary.
Some tips and hints for your seaside party
Instead of using a catering company, use a local restaurant familiar with the area. Think about a Beach Blanket theme where everyone eats on the beach on blankets. If youre going Hawaiian Style, carry that over to the food with island favorites and perhaps a roasted pig. Use the obvious, seafood! Have a restaurant or caterer put together a clam bake, crab-boil or fish fry for beach wedding receptions. Go completely out of the box, and serve up one of the best bargains of all, Bar-B-Que! Decorate your cake with anything that goes with your theme. Use real seashells, Hawaiian style flowers, or plastic sea animals. Keep the drinks simple and inexpensive too. Use an old row-boat or dinghy filled with ice and soft drinks, beer and wine coolers. This saves on bartender fees too! Using the same boat idea, fill it with shrimp cocktail or other cold appetizers. Keep the drinks to a few choices. Serve one frozen adult drink (preferably something tropical) and soft drinks to balance it out.As we always suggest, solicit help from the wedding party, friends and family members, as much of this can be done with their help for fabulous seaside party.
