New Trend Alternative to Wedding
Cakes Chocolate fondue fountains have been around for a while, but most viewed this form of catering as a luxury. Now, brides and their parents have become more financially savvy, realizing they can use chocolate fountain catering to replace the old-fashioned cake and hor d'oeuvres. Let's compare: a slice of wedding cake runs $1.50 - $6.50. This also leaves no other option for the guests if they don't like the chosen flavor or have health precautions. Additionally, hor d'oeuvres run about $2.50+ per guest on average. Contrarily, a chocolate fountain that is tiered like a wedding cake runs about $375 which can accommodate 500+ guests. The dipping items can be of variety ranging from hor d'oeuvre-like items such as cheese or mini-wieners to light-tasting mints and tropical fruits to desserts, such as mini-cheesecakes or éclairs, for those with a sweet-tooth. So, for a guest count of 200,-with a greater guest count equating a greater average savings- the chocolate fountain trend would cost approximately $3.65 compared to the traditional average of ($2.50 hor d'oeuvre average + $4.00 cake average) $6.50, saving the financial obligation of approximately $2.85 per guest. This totals a savings of $570 for a 200 guest reception, leaving parents and trend setting brides very happy ever after! |
