Is it tacky to send a gift card as a wedding gift?

Now there a very good question. I think it depends who you Trouwjurk Lange Mouw are in relation to the bride and groom. It always much more sincere to get an actual gift from your friends and family. However if you really are trying to save up and want things for a new house for example then a gift voucher can be ideal. And a lot of couples are now asking for vouchers, cash or honeymoon funds instead of gifts, so a voucher could be a briliant idea. Given you are sending a belated gift you could think about what they want and if you don come up with somethingthey really need then send the voucher. Belinda

Wedding menus can to notoriously over-priced and often venues can get away with average food rather than fabulous food, which is really what you are paying for. That and the immense amount of planning and organisation that goes into getting 80+ plates of food out at once. You High Low Schoolfeest Jurken seen Ramsay Kitchen USA? I would just do your research. It worth paying the money if High Low Schoolfeest Jurken the service and food is second to none and get a reputable caterer who understands the wedding event and what expected and you will be happy that you did. There are plenty of things that will also be added on top, such as corkage. And many wedding venues won even offer a choice of caterer so if you want the venue you have to think of the food as a must-buy factor. The ideal is to pick an independent and have a choice of menu that you can tailor for youselves.

What quality criteria can I use to rate a caterers performance?

I would ask for references and get them to talk through every aspect of the service, including how they will be presented while serving, how they will stage the service given the amount of people and what tend to be the main issues arising from a wedding. How will they deal with it. After a frank and to the point conversation allowing them to tell you in detail what they will deliver I would have a note of everything you would like. Such as coffee, cocktails, serviettes etc. If you have a good caterer they will already have mentioned everything you can think off. The idea is to find a wedding caterer who will take the stress and worry away from you. Go with your instinct. If not check the references. Good luck.
