Find Information About Lots of Great Topics

When people look back at your wedding they will remember many things, the food you serve will certainly be one of them. They will remember the wedding menu, how it was served, the service they received, the presentation, the selection and of course the taste.

There does seem to be a lot of choices involved in what to serve at your wedding. I suggest you start by deciding the main course first.

You will need to make a decision on how the meal will be served to your guests. Your choices are buffet style, family style or traditional meal service. How the meal is served affects your food choices and the atmosphere of your wedding.

A buffet style meal is usually a cheaper option and it allows you to offer many more side dishes than the other types of meal service. Many brides and grooms choose to have a buffet style meal not only for the money saving potential but also because this meal allows you to give all your guests the choices they want. Usually the guests can have as little or as much food on their plate as they want and they can choose based upon what the food looks like, and how they feel that day instead of making a choice months ahead of time.

The most traditional meal at a wedding reception is one which is served directly to your guests. This usually means that you choose 2 different main meals and your guests decide prior to the wedding what they want. The positive of this is that the main course is usually something more expensive, such as steak or lobster, than you will find in a buffet style meal. Of course the downside would be that your guests have to stick to their original choices and they have no choice of side dishes.

Family service is rarely uses, but it is a cross between a buffet reception and one which the servers serve you. In family service servers give each table bowls and plates of each kind of food available and the occupants of each table pass the food and share it like you would at a family dinner at your house. This is a nice option for small weddings or weddings in which all the guests know each other on both sides.

Now that you know how you want your main course served it may be time to think about the appetizer table. Many weddings have appetizer tables set up for their guests, this way they can enjoy a snack during the cocktail hour. These tables are usually stocked with finger foods such as fruit, vegetables, dips, cheese and crackers. Talk to your caterer about what is available and decide what your guests may want to indulge in.

Finally, even though you have probably chosen your wedding cake for your main dessert, you may want to offer a selection of desserts as well. Think about creating a dessert table where you can offer a wide range of desserts that cater to all your guests wants and needs from rich desserts to lighter ones. Some options will include chocolates, truffles, fruit bowls, cakes, pies, muffins, brownies, cookies, minicakes, scones and tarts.
