How to Reduce Food Wastage at Weddings and Parties

India wastes a lot of party food. A few simple choices keep your wedding generous without being wasteful.

Plan smart

• Share a realistic guest count with your caterer.
• Prefer a balanced menu over very long lists.
• Cook and refill in batches instead of putting everything out at once.

Serve smaller portions

Use smaller plates and small serving spoons so guests can come back for more rather than piling up.

Handle leftovers carefully

Clean, untouched food can be shared the same day with local food-donation groups. Ask your caterer to pack it safely and hygienically.
