I so appreciate this forum and all the advice I’ve gotten on here. Appetizer amounts? We have one hour during which will have cocktails and appetizers while we’re taking photos. There’s going to be six different types of appetizers. Two of those are included in the cost of the venue and I think they said it’s two pieces per person. I am adding four more different kinds of appetizers and I was going to do, one, per person. Except I have two vegans so I’m doing extra of the two vegan options since that is all they will have as far as apps. They will each have five apiece.
My concern is if I do one per person of the appetizers that I am adding, then anyone who maybe likes meat but doesn’t like beef or maybe they don’t like bacon then they’re really not getting one per person. they’re going to be stuck with just three or four appetizers instead. I feel like I just don’t know how to account for the fact that not everybody’s going to eat all the appetizers becuase maybe they don’t care for the choice. So, I can’t guarantee that it will be six per person. We really don’t want to spend any more money. We could add maybe one more appetizer on. So far the venue offers stuff Im not a fan off and it’s an odd combo. We have beef Wellington, coconut shrimp, a baked brie, bacon wrapped dates, fried artichokes and vegan tortilla wraps. Odd selection of choices in my opinion. The guest count is 55 with one strict vegan and one vegan/occasionally eats cheese so not strict and then myself who eats cheese. Does it seem like enough?
Also unfortunately because of Covid it is plate passed not tray passed. But it’s helpful since guests cannot just go pick multiple things multiple times and leave little for others. all the appetizer choices will be put onto a plate and handed to each person. The vegans will be the exception to that.
