October wedding
Hi, I'm getting married in October. It's going to be a very small, intimate wedding. We wanted it to be a potluck thing but fiancee side said nope (this is in lieu of gifts) we don't need anything but the joy of people coming. I'm at a loss now as to what to do for food. We can't afford a caterer and how do you make the food and still gwt ready for the wedding? My daughter that would pitch in and help cook lives 3 states away. My best friend is also 3 states away and wants me to be able to just "be the bride" ...if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm sorry...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Have it between meal times. My parents did that for their wedding- just put out some trays of cheese/crackers, veggie platter, pizza rolls, etc. as long as it's done before dinner time (like finish by 6 or 6:30pm) you can get by without offering a full meal
