We fired our caterer

OMG, yeah, I know.  Here we are less than 7 months away from our big day, and we have no caterer.  It’s ok, really.

I was on the phone with my step-mom one night.  She expressed some remorse at not being closer and not being able to help with the food.

Matt and I were still struggling with and worrying about how exactly we were going to be able to afford 4K for hors d’heuvers.

Enter our solution.  Mom has volunteered her kitchen (with double ovens) to my step-mom who will head up the foodies.  Step-mom has volunteered her love of party throwing mixed with her excellent foodie-ness and her sister (who is hostess extraordinare).  Our friend Susie Hamlett, who is the socialite here in Columbus, has also volunteered to do some prep work.  There is a catering kitchen in the museum that we are going to be able to use at least the day of, but hopefully most of the week as well (what a great work place for the floral project too).

So, all that being said, we had to figure out what we were going to do.  What shall we serve.  Matt and I thought about it for a couple of days, and decided that we should definitely go with a Southern theme.  Since so many of our guests are coming from out of state, we just thought serving traditional southern yummies was perfect.

We don’t have an official menu yet, but here’s a visual representation of what I’m leaning towards.

Wow, it looks so yummy all together like that.  If you click on the picture of the snack, it will carry you to the recipe.  Yummy, huh?

Now I just need to figure out what we are going to do about a bar.
