Answer:

That’s great that you plan to cater your wedding yourself. You probably already realise how much money you’re saving. Fifty guests is a very manageable number and brunch is especially easy to prepare.

Many foods can be purchased pre-made such as bagels, muffins, assorted pastries, quiche and salads. Fish and meat such as smoked or poached salmon, ham and beef can also be purchased pre-made.

If you plan to make many of the items yourself, most salads can be made a day or two in advance. Just put the dressing on before you serve it or they'll go soggy.

A lot of the prep work can also be done in advance such as chopping and slicing of fruits, veggies, and cheeses. See also these menu suggestions for 50 people.
