Wedding Forum - What to have?...

I think its down to your personal tast and your theme and budget.
I'm going for a sit down meal and a buffet x

same as above I'm having a buffet just cos there are so many fussy eaters they can pick what they want and I won't be stressed with the picky eaters

we are having a sit down meal and then like a buffet at night with hot carved meats. my mum wanted to do a chocolate fountain aswel but i said no as i could just imagine my little boy and nephew comming and putting little chocolate handprints all over my beautiful dress! lol x

We're having our starter and dessert served to the table, and our main as a buffet, as that way everyone is happy, but we don't have to forked out a lot of extra cash to provide people options (picking the main course was just not an option for us. We have a lot of people who either don't like red meat, or else are picky about how it's cooked (eg I cannot eat mine well-done, same with my dad and brother and a few others, but my OH and his family won't touch it if it's even slightly pink, etc), so would have ended up with chicken which I don't enjoy and find boring; so, we wanted to give people a choice.

However, we are having somewhere between 44 and 52 guests, inc us; if it was any more, we would just have to swallow the extra cost, and provide a red meat, a chicken, and a fish option for guests to choose from, as I think that a buffet for more than 50 just doesn't work very well.

In the evening, it'll be a buffet with a selection to please everyone.

We're having a 3course sit down meal for our day guests (57) and hot baguettes and wedges for our evening guests (100) x

It's personal choice, we are having a sit down meal and then bacon butties and chips later on x x

We're having a BBQ in the day as our wedding is in beautiful gardens and the recpetion will be in a marquee and we felt a BBQ would suit the venue the best.

The first thing you need to do is decide on your budget.

The order you've written the choices in is usually the cost order that they go in with a hog roast being the cheapest and sit down meal being most expensive

I really want a carvery as that means there will be a choice :)

I chose a sit down meal so there is less choice of wasting my dress, lolx

Its depends on the atmosphere you are creating for the day too....

We are having a sit down 3 course meal for 80 people but want a full roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings so fairly traditional and formal... however for the evening we are doing a cheese, pate and crackers buffett. My brother got married this year and they did afternoon tea for 60 people which was scones, cakes and sandwiches then a hog roast and salads for the evening and was lovely too xxx

depends on style of wedding, traditional ect. Also depends on your budget too x
