The bride and groom both hold the knife together to make the first slice in the wedding cake. This symbolizes the beginning of their life together. The cake is sliced after the wedding ceremony at the wedding reception. The rest of the cake is sliced without any special significance as the easiest way to serve the cake to guests.
The caterer you hired should be responsible for the dessert bar which is set up shortly after the main meals are served and guests have finished eating and are left out for a couple of hours, then taken away and later brought out to serve with coffee or tea before the guests go home from the wedding reception. If the bride and groom have tried to save money by having family help making the desserts such as different pies; bars (such as brownies, etc.) cookies, etc., then the caterers should still bring out the desserts as mentioned above.
When serving appetizers for a wedding reception there is generally three to four appetizers per guest. You can either phone around to caterers for the best prices or, ask your family if they are willing to pitch in and make appetizers for the wedding reception.
secrets from a caterers kitchen is a book you should read-one thing it talks about is food&beverage amounts because NO ONE can ever know how much ppl will eat or drink but you certainly dont want to run out of food and you dont want to waste your money by getting too much. another good idea is looking up a beverage recipe online and seeing how many ppl it will serve and weighing that against the volume of the beverage ex.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/cape-fear-punch-recipe/index.html
The father of the groom can either pay for the full bar bill of all guests, or, two or three tickets to the bar can be left on the table where each guests sits and these will be free drinks, but after that the guests will have to pay for their own. The latter is used more often or some families that can't afford a large wedding may well get stuck with a staggering bar bill. The wine (both red/white) should be at each guests table (say 6 people to a table) and there is generally a corkage fee (for a waitress/waiter to take the cork out of the bottle and serve it to each guests at that table.) Some reception halls allow you to make your own wine and bring it to the wedding, but few will agree to this. As far as being liable by law as to how many drinks a guest has and how they get home in most States it is up to the guest to use their brains and either have a designated driver or take a taxi cab home. You shouldn't be responsible for that.

A wedding caterer is someone who prepares all of the food (minus the cake) for a wedding and then serves it to the guests. Drop-off catering is a little different because the caterer doesn't stick around to serve the food.
This will vary widely depending upon the guests and the type of reception. I have heard of receptions where guests booze freely and may have 4-6 drinks each, or more. Other receptions are non-alcoholic and no one drinks anything.
It depends on what kind of food you want. Generally caterers charge 3x the food costs so you can get an idea of what you should serve to your guests.
* At the wedding reception after the meal is served and approximately one hour after, the wedding cake will be cut by the bride and groom. The bride holds the knife and the groom's hand goes over hers and they make a small slice to feed each other a piece of the wedding cake before serving to their guest. Sometimes the bride and groom will have a little fun and push the cake all over the outside of each others mouths. Then the caterers came and cut the cake and either the bride and groom can serve the wedding cake or the caterers will do it if requested before the reception.
