Hey guys! So I decided to do a backyard wedding on 09.12.20 for 50 if our close family and friends. I have two issues. Money is tight but I want everyone to have a nice experience. I do want the dress code to be semi-formal instead of dressy casual since I dont want anyone to show up in jeans. My issue is that my fiance wants to do a buffet, have 4 family members cook half the food and order the other have from a restaurant. He doesn't even want me to have a waiter, but I think its necessary so someone can serve and pick up after everyone eats.
If we do a buffet dinner, would it still be considered semi-formal? I had originally put it on the invitation but now I am thinking whether I should take it off and hope that no-one shows up in jeans. If we do half cooked by family half by restaurant, Would I even be able to hire a waiter since its not from a “caterer”. Please help I am so confused
