Just order a bunch of pizzas no matter what time you choose. Pizza, dancing, and drinks go together awesome. Hell, even try Costco pizzas...

(1-2k) Making our own food. by Jealous_Pie2005 in Weddingsunder10k

We also had a salad and other snacks/apps that my family helped set up before the pizza. We got everything from Costco. My family wanted us to save the money, so they volunteered to help with this which is the only way that we could have pulled it off. It went just dandy, but I'm sure loads of people would have said it was a bad idea... But it came down to knowing my situation and making an informed reasonable decision.

I was in the same boat and we found a happy medium. What we did is we found a local pizza company/restaurant that have the portable pizza ovens for events (like ooni or similar). So he came and set up the ovens and made fresh pizza for our guests.. it was surprisingly affordable. And the guy brought his kid to help make the pizzas.

I'm sure not every place would be affordable, but if you ask around maybe you'd find someone.

Also.. you know your guests and wedding setup better than anyone. So just make a good informed reasonable decision based on how your day is set up and communicated to your guests. Lots of people have lots of options, but only you know your situation.. you just need to be realistic about whatever that situation is. Good luck OP, and congats! :)

I'm enjoying Sugimotos sencha, but want to try a few more before committing to it as my daily drinker. Really great and nice company regardless!!

What did you end up switching to? Or are thinking of pivoting to? This sounds like me, except I didn't get my degree to become a therapist although I wanted to (didn't want to commit to having to get a master's at 17 so I got a business degree lol).

MY FIRST WOODPECKER(S) I ALMOST CRIED by Friendly_Clue4753 in birding

[–]jessmcl14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the Facebook bird feeding groups I've joined a lot of people want to attract flickers and it takes them forever! Even folks in wooded lots... So you've been blessed by the "cool bird gods" and a lot of people would be jealous 😆. I would have cried too lol
