Ever?
About 3k? Ish?
Me and my wife didn't do a regular wedding or reception. But we wanted to throw a little party with a smaller group.
Steaks, some wine and beer, some nice roasted veggies, desserts, etc. The meat was the biggest chunk ,tbones. Wine was a few hundred. Beer was relatively cheap, just got a keg of Heineken for the few folks that would prefer beer since I knew they all would be okay with it.
The desserts were part homemade, part professional. The big cake was about 300 iirc. The stuff I made was maybe the same for all of it.
There were some kiddie foods in there for the young'ns that couldn't/wouldn't do steak and the kind of veggies.
Soft drinks for the non alcohol folks.
But yeah, the grilling was bonkers. My uncle helped me set up a temporary grill big enough to do the steaks in three batches. It was fifty people? I think,, there were some no-shows and some unexpected. We had enough steaks for more than that, because mooching is not an unusual thing in the family lol.
I'll never do a party that big again though. Fucking hell.
