Reception Menu Options
Your getting married and trying to decide what to serve your guests at your wedding reception. There are many different options to consider when planning your wedding menu.
First, you need to decide whether you will be having a sit down served dinner or buffet style dinner. Sit down dinners are generally more formal and are equipped with a full catering staff to serve your guests. Generally place settings and silverware are done in formal style. These lunches or dinners are typically served with an appetizer - quite often a salad or soup, entree of choice and desert. Your wedding cake typically is the dessert of choice. Buffets can be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is presented with several different menu selections where your guests can serve themselves. This is generally less formal, but gives your guests many menu options to choose from.
Now what to have for the main course? If it is a lunch, you can have anything that would be served on a dinner menu, except it is generally less formal setting. Dinners are more generally more formal and usually more costly. You may want to meet with your caterer a few months before your wedding to sample menu selections to help you decide.
