Planning Your Wedding Meal
The Big Day is just around the corner
The Big Day is just around the corner. The wedding meal sets the tune for the rest of the ceremony, so it's important to do your homework. Buffet or sit-down? What foods should be on the menu? The type of dinner depends on the formality of the wedding. Since no couple is the same, no wedding should be the same. Not every wedding dinner needs to be served with guests seated at round tables of ten or twelve. Consider buffet-style or a combination of buffet-style and sit down. No one says it has to be one or the other. In fact, the combination actually works well; if you have the first course served and the plates are cleared table by table, guests can make their way to the buffet for their next course; naturally minimizing any possible food lines.
If buffet is the route you want to go, consider the following. At minimum be sure the buffet has a protein (meat, chicken or fish) and a few side dishes, which include a vegetable (salad or veggies) and a carbohydrate. The table should look abundant, possibly with elegant candles, a tablecloth or other adornments. Meat and fish have distinctly different flavors that shouldn't be mixed, especially if you consider any complimentary sauce that may go with each. If you are having a buffet, separate the meat section from the fish section with florals. You'll need double the vegetables and carbohydrates, but at least the main attraction won't be ruined! Also, be sure to take into account any dietary restrictions. Will any vegetarians or vegans be in attendance? Make sure there are plenty of options for religious and dietary needs as well. It may seem silly, but the size of the plate makes a difference. No one wants to see Uncle Bill doing a balancing act across the room! Instead of using a 12-inch dinner plate, consider using an 8-inch luncheon plate.
The smaller plate will encourage guests to enjoy each dish as intended with its appropriate combination of sides. Also, if there are different food stations, each with a different offering, smaller plates will encourage guest to check out what else is being served.
