well I can say I looked at just simple things for when I pop the questiong to my gf and we were comparing rings and such and the one she liked the most was 200+ bucks but the wedding bands were a lot cheaper. I agree the cater food not always the best. having a pot luck type meat would rule cause there bound to be something there everyone likes. I just makes sure that people are not just bringing like soda , cups and napkins (been to one event and it was like 30 2 litters of cola and napkins and only 4 bags of chips for 40 people lol..
