No one wants to sit at a wedding waiting for you with their stomachs grumbling. Serving food late is a really cruel thing to do to your guests. “When is dinner going to be served?” This question is already asked a lot during normal wait times. You’re running late, pictures are taking too long, so you’ve called and asked them to delay dinner. When you only offer one dish, you risk your guests going hungry, and hungry guests are angry guests. At least when guests have a choice, even if they don’t like their meal, they know they had options. If not, you’re banking that lots of people will all like the same thing. You can maybe get away with this if your wedding is very small. This is not a very guest-centric approach. You’re going to only offer one dinner, and that’s it. You’ve decided you don’t really care about the food. It’s not life or death, there are still chicken breasts and salad left, but it’s still a huge let down.
Imagine being one of your guests: you’re the last table to go, you finally get up and into line and there are no potatoes left. This is usually only a worry if you’re doing a buffet. Not only is it unfair, it also reflects on you poorly. Running out of food can be right up there with giving your guests food poisoning. Your vegetarian guests will seriously appreciate not having to eat another side salad and your carnivorous guests may also appreciate the opportunity to try something new. Instead, try to fit in a veggie option if you can.
So often vegetarians settle for side dishes and just okay meals.
WEDDING FAUX PAS FULL
If that’s true, what about your vegetarian guests? Don’t forget, they need a full dinner too. You love your guests, right? Well, maybe you don’t love every single one, but hopefully you at least like them all enough. Take a little time to check over food prep just to make sure everything is safe. It’s so easy to let little things slip through the cracks especially with how crazy everything gets for the bride and groom. The problem is, sometimes you hire a vendor and wash your hands of it. If you’re hiring a vendor, you should also do your research on the company. If you’re doing the food, be careful and research exactly how all the food will keep. This story is exactly why you should take food seriously.
Long story short the ranch dressing was improperly chilled and those who chose ranch did not have a nice night. The wedding was nice, and the food good too. My mother went to a wedding when she was in her 30s. Food prep and serving is a big deal and if you don’t do it right there can be huge consequences. There’s a reason restaurants have to have handling licenses. Food is right up there with speeches and music choice, but what if I told you there are some major wedding food faux pas that people make all the time? Serving Improperly It will set the tone for the whole reception. There’s something about the ceremony that just makes people hungry maybe it’s all that crying. Why? By the time dinner rolls around it’s likely your guests are ravenous.
