Food. And people who don't like what you've picked as the option.

Hi, picky eaters can be frustrating and why not mention it before now or to you personally? but I wouldn't let it get to you. I am having a hog roast in the evening also for my wedding but there will be a veggie option as well and we have added some other picky bits and salads to the buffet so i'm sure everyone will be covered. Have you been advised about a vegan/veggie option alternative to the hog roast and would she eat that? Our option is Halloumi, falafel and mixed pepper skewers. I'm sure the caterer can do something ? for the day I have 2 main options and a veggie option and I have one person who only eats chicken nuggets, garlic bread, chips and margarita pizza! My caterer have been fine about him having his own meal (I just dont understand how someone can live on that alone! ?)

Hiya

It’s always tricky knowing just where to draw a line and stick to your guns, isn’t it?

I’m a former National Trust wedding coordinator, and currently planning our own wedding. Like Sarah has mentioned, I would offer one (and one only) vegetarian alternative to the hog roast, otherwise you’ll have every Tom, Dick and Harry saying they can’t/don’t eat X,Y,Z, and it will drive you barmy!

The exception would be anyone with a known allergy or dietary requirement such as Diabetic, Coeliac or PKU (we have some of each!) Obviously those people would need to be made known to catering and waiting on staff, but if it’s just preference, well they can prefer to eat elsewhere and join you later,. After all, you are offering essentially two free (expensive) meals.

“Couple’s day, couple’s way!” (although don’t turn Bride-Groom-Zilla about it)!

Stick to your guns, AND your budget!

Love

I agree - unless someone has a genuine allergy, they eat what they're given or bring their own.
