Hello, Guild-goers! I've been on a small bout of hiatus this past year due to personal reasons, but now I'm back - for the time being, at least. I still remember the start of the good ole Guild. Forgot how much it had changed!

One of the most exciting things to happen to me over 2014 was that my boyfriend proposed. But now I run into a dilemma I've been trying to come up with a solution for, for 3 months now. And as such, I seek all of your knowledge!

I've never even so much as stepped foot into a wedding. So, that being said, I am all but at a loss on what to serve for food. >.< Our budget is only 1K, and I haven't found a reception location yet or a dress or much of anything. So we want to keep food limited and inexpensive. The guest list is over 300 people and it is still growing. ...Yeah, I know. Apparently it is customary for the parents to invite everyone and their dog even though they have nothing to do with my fiancé or myself. Who knew, right?

The ideas so far are:
1.) A three tiered wedding cake (I am buying, only about 150), a three tiered grooms cake (his mother is making), 3 sheet cakes, homemade cream mints, and nuts.

2.) Both cakes, 2 sheet cakes, pies, cookies, and other homemade desserts I can't think of - but am more than willing to take ideas for!

3.) Both cakes, 2 sheet cakes, and a snack bar/stations consisting of stuff such as chex mix, pretzels, nuts, that popcorn recipe on the back of the Old Dutch bags.

I guess I'm asking for suggestions and what, if you were a guest/have been a guest to a wedding/had a wedding of your own, you would like to see and what you have seen! And don't worry, it isn't until October so I'm not exactly pressed for time yet.
