To give guests food choice or not?

We are specifically paying more to have an option. I want our guests to have a choice, as I like having a choice when I go to a wedding.

What type of invites are you having? Could you have an insert?

I think if you're able to have a choice you try and squeeze it on. Could you perhaps make a little RSVP slip to go with the invites that has the choices on them? So it doesn't have to go on your main invite?

Thanks ladies!! Thats decided!!

I`ve ordered pocketfold invites which are perfect really for this - handy really!! We`re doing our own insert etc so thinking i`ll definately try and sqeeze it on now!!

I`ll have to cut down the fancy wording on the menu and get straight to the point as i`ll run out of room!!

The hotel are really laid back so as long as they have numbers, i write on the name tags and give them a copy there should be no problemo!

I`m thinking of speaking to the hotel though as i`m not too sure about 'chicken supreme' - creamy chicken!! hmmmm! the OH is very pleased with the thought of a roast topside of beef though!!

Thinking i`ll give a flash of my invites when they`re done as i`m so excited!!

Looking foward to seeing them!!

I wasn't going to give a choice because I didn't think I could but I am now. I know what a fussy girl I am, so if I was a guest then I'd appreciate it

We're also giving our guests a choice - I'm one step up from spreadsheets - I'm an Access demon!

We'd already decided on the pocketfold invite option and one of our friends has kindly designed our RSVP to include the full menu options on the reverse side - they look fab and give plenty of space to allow each guest to initial their course options!

Mum keeps saying are you sure you should be offering a choice, 'I've never had a choice before at a wedding'. My response - well we want to be different!

?

If you can give a choice then fab! do it, saves a lot of waste and you will please more guests!

1 thing i would say is that sometimes when it comes to the day, guests forget what they have ordered so make sure you do some kind of table plan thing for the waiters/waitresses that matches where people are sitting. I work in a restaurant and the amount of people that have no idea what they have ordered (if they do a pre order with a large party) is un true! and sometimes they just accept a dish because they can't remember and end up taking someone elses!

i'm sure you already thought of that but thought i would mention it just incase!
