Preparation for the most solemn day in the life of the pair requires a large number of efforts made, return, time. In addition to hundreds of little things, which have to take into account future spouses, in question are the highlights of the celebration of a wedding day: where will the event be held, how long will the guests come, how much money needs to be investigated for the design of the hall, ordering dishes for a lush banquet? A separate holiday organization is a wedding menu. In order for it to everyone, the perpetrators of the celebration will have to seriously approach the issue of the selection of festive food.

What should take into account when making a menu at home?

Wedding banquet is always a real feast. If you are not ready to celebrate the event in the restaurant, you want to spend a homemade wedding with the most native and loved ones, there are several practical recommendations on the organization of meals, the solemn menu:

• All the time, while guests are at the wedding event, the table will, as a rule, will be broken from all sorts of yokes - exquisite snacks, satisfying hot dishes, salads. The ideal is the option when cooked culinary masterpieces are constantly replaced throughout the celebration, during dance breaks, communication, competition program. So that wedding dishes do not bother guests, calculate the approximate duration of the banquet, to distribute the removal and replacing the yoke: then even with a small number of recipes will be created a sense of diversity.

• Surely all the preparation of dishes from the menu will fall on the shoulders of the bride or groom's mom, and it is possible that they are both, so the hostess at home you need to start planning the cooking time in advance. Some items from the wedding list are better to do in advance, or at least carry out preparatory work. For example, the day before the event, you can pick up meat, cut the sausage, cheese, prepare sandwiches. Semi-prepared ingredients are better stored in the refrigerator under a transparent food film.
• Meat requires increased attention, so it is unlikely that the parents of the newlyweds will want to spend the wedding day on his quenching, frying or baking. Homemade cooks can cook meat dishes on the eve of the banquet in the evening, make a contour or knocking roast, and before visiting guests, ready-made menu items are enough to heat and pour some delicious creamy / tomato / sharp sauce - there will be a feeling of freshly prepared meal. About how to make a menu, watch the video:

• Separately, it is worth thinking about the theme of the wedding celebration. If newlyweds chose a certain style of celebration, decorated the room, prepared the corresponding outfits, the menu should reflect the thematic mood of the wedding. For a wedding in the marine style, it will be logical to prepare a lot of fish dishes and snacks, light meat yokes, Mediterranean salads. If this is a Hawaiian event, the wedding table must decorate the menu items in the topics of the islands: chicken with pineapples, shrimp in coconut chips, salad with fish, cocktail banana-mango.
• An important advice before starting to prepare for a wedding banquet: If you have never tried a dish that you want to file to the table, it is better to make several trial attempts. It is possible to prepare such a wedding meal will be much more difficult than described in the recipe, and it will also be possible to adequately calculate the amount of time spent. It may happen that the combination of ingredients will be unpleasant to taste: you can change the proportions, replace one product from the menu to others or abandon the recipe.

Number of invited people

The number of people invited to the celebration of a wedding event is one of the main points affecting the amount of products, their diversity, the frequency of change of dishes. If no more than ten people are invited to the table, it is clear that the relatives of the young or the groom themselves with the bride are aware of the tastes of the guests, so to prepare the menu of the wedding day will be much easier. It is quite another thing if the banquet implies a large number of guests - from twenty and above. We will have to think about the selection of festive dishes who get all.
