We are planning an appetizer or hors d'oeruve reception because in order for most people to attend on a weeknight we are having the wedding at 6:30. I don't think we should feel obligated to give them a meal if the wedding is later and the food probably won't be served until 8:00. Is this incorrect?

I will be having a taco bar and paying $520.00 to feed 80 people. This includes as many different meats as I would like, 2 large containers of "agua frescas" (which are drinks) and tortilla chips with salsa. Of course, I will be purchasing MORE drinks and fruit/veggie trays from Sam's Club also. So yes, it is very possible. I would check with "mom and pop" or "hole-in-the-wall" type of places and ask if they cater. Mexican is usually very inexpensive. I found my guy on Craigslist. BTW, I'm in California. It might be cheaper here? I’m on a very strict budget also, and found a Mexican restaurant that also does catering. I will be having a taco bar and paying $520.00 to feed 80 people.
