Catering for a party

[boyo bach]

Hi, we're having a kind of after wedding party in our house soon, and wondered if you have any ideas tips on this. Our budget (we're not the ones getting married by the way) is not massive, and neither is our home.
I'm thinking will have to be able to prepare a lot of the food the day before so we can enjoy the same as everyone else. I think there'll be about 30 people or so.
So recipee's and tips would be most welcome!!
Many thanks.

shw mae! we had a wedding buffet a while ago and instead of presents everyong brought an item for the buffet with them - we'd planned what everyone should bring like a meat platter, salad, sweet etc but it was interesting to see what everyone came with.

Shwmae a diolch. The guests will be bringing prezzies for the bride and groom. We have volunteered the party in our house as it is central. So unfortunately for us, that idea out the window. Diolch though.
