My niece is getting married this November, she's having about 350 people and is paying $110 a plate! CRAZY!!!

So what were your plates per person, if you remember.. I really don't remember at all what I paid, but I know it wasn't $110 a plate.
 
errr about $20 a person at Olive garden? LOL we had a justice of the peace wedding and it was just us, my folks and his folks and wewent to olive garden afterwards.
 
Ummm...first wedding was $6 a plate @ Topper's Restaurant...DK quite remember where it was...near Oak Park by the El tracks...that was 1969..It was kind of a dive...

2nd wedding we paid the Legion Ladies to cook a roast beef dinner for about 50 people/family style...we paid $200

For DS's wedding in 2004 they had it catered with cold meats/cheese/salads/... $13 a person...
 
My grandma and grandpas gift to us was our wedding reception food. Grandma worked in the kitchen at the hospital and could get all the food fairly cheap. We had ham/turkey sandwiches,chips, veggies trays,salads. All you care to eat. Was great!! Nothing fancy, but at 18 it was a great gift for me, not having much money and all.
 
My Caterer came to about $15 a head, buffet style, with enough leftovers for an army

In 1994

We are going to a wedding next weekend that I suspect is about $100 a plate, hubby is a picky eater though - so I am pretty sure it will be a stop at Fast Food afterwards for us
 
$8.50 a plate but we had to provide our own booze. But we got to keep all the leftover booze too! This was in 1990. My sister got married three months later at a hotel that wasn't even very fancy and paid $52.00 a plate. I was a bargain shopper way back then too!
 
We got married in August 2001. We actually had 2 receptions and both cost a lot of money. We got married outdoors at an Italian-style villa in the northern suburbs and had a brunch reception for about 200 people. The brunch was about 80.00/plate but much higher by the time they added in that **** 18% gratuity and taxes that they automatically tack on to all catered events. Then later on in the day, we had a dinner reception of a traditional style Chinese 12 course wedding banquet and that costs about 85.00/person and that was for about 175 people.

Yikes, when I think back to how much money was spent on everything, I cringe a little bit.

Is she adding in the DJ, flowers etc... for the TOTAL per plate. Cause if not she's off her rocker...

Mine was $30ish a plate not including the DJ etc...
 
It was $40 or $45 a plate in 2001, we booked before the reception hall was built (The Stonegate in Hoffman Estates) so we got a 25% discount. :) It made our reception there possible, otherwise we couldn't have afforded the $60 plus per plate.
