Are You Feeding Your Bridal Party While Getting Ready?

I would definitely offer something with more protein for lunch. Carbs won't keep people full until dinner. Eating sandwiches, wraps, or salads won't mess up their makeup as long as they apply or reapply their lipstick after.

I would maybe add in a sandwich tray or salad. Fruit and pastries is really just a bunch of sugar.

Yes! Probably having McAllisters picked up...our flower girls dad (my cousin) offered to pick up lunch if we give him the address and $ 😂

I didn't even think about this! I'll probably try to think of something. Maybe Subway? Or something easy and not too messy. I was planning on Mimosas, though. And water, obviously.

For my sister's wedding this past October, the guys actually made us eggs and bacon (her wedding was at 1 PM and all of the wedding party stayed on site at the venue in two separate structures). We also had cheese, meat, and crackers as a snack as it got closer to 1. For my wedding, I plan on bringing in some sort of lunch: sandwiches, salads with protein, etc. I typically eat a ton of protein on a daily basis, so whatever I will be providing will be centered around protein to make sure everyone has enough energy and is satisfied throughout the day.

We provided breakfast and lunch. We started hair and makeup at like 7am so I wanted to provide both meals. Also as someone who has been a bridesmaid a million times I hate when the bride only provides small snacks because she doesn’t want to eat a heavy meal. It’s a long day and it’s fine if you don’t want to eat but your girls need energy and real food! I would be frustrated and probably order in a sandwich.

I had mimosas, water, fruit, croissants, cookies and a meat and cheese tray. My girls picked at it but didn’t eat very much.

Champagne, juice, water, coffee, breakfast tacos & burritos & fruit!

I was gonna do mimosas, coffee and a big fruit bowl in the morning time, then jimmy johns for lunch!

Water, champagne and thinking a charcuterie board or fruit and cheese. Something hand held to snack on. I think any kind of non greasy finger food would be awesome. You all could do breakfast out before hand then finger food to get ready.

We did costco Crossiant sandwich trays and their wrap trays as well! We got bottled water and small single serving bags of chips and it went perfectly and was a huge hit

I thankfully have a ton of very supportive ladies in my bridal party! My sister is my matron if honor but lives overseas so she won’t be able to attend my bach party. Because of this, my fsil (bridesmaid) offered to take care of that. My sister wants to throw me a bridal shower a little closer to the wedding when she’s in town and my maid of honor asked if she could do brunch the morning of for everyone! We’ll start hair/makeup around 9:00. I’ll get some light sandwiches, probably Jimmy Johns or HEB, for lunch because our wedding is pretty late and I don’t want anyone to go hungry!

I was in a wedding where my friend provided us breakfast, but by the time the afternoon came around I was starving. All she had was fruit trays and little snacks. For my wedding, I wanted to cater in Chick-fil-a nuggets/strips and some chicken wraps. I just remembered how starving I was at my friend’s and decided I didn’t want that for my wedding!

I was just thinking of having fruit, snacks, sandwiches and mimosas, nothing too heavy but enough to hold them down until cocktail hour. I’ve heard a lot of stories of BM fainting at weddings because they didn’t eat or were dehydrated, something to think about too if your wedding is during summer and it’s hot out.

We did breakfast and lunch for the girls (since we started earlier) and lunch for the guys. We knew there would be mimosas/pregaming and lots of drinking later with the open bar so we wanted to make sure everyone got their carb fix lol. We had coffee and bagels from Panera and my MIL brought a fruit tray. Then for lunch we had subs for the guys and wraps for the girls (easier to eat with a face full of makeup) from wegmans (local grocery store). Everything was delivered to the hotel and worth every penny! I feel like if you’re asking people to spend the whole day getting ready and doing wedding stuff it’s important to take care of them and feed them. Personally I’m someone who needs to eat lol so I knew if I were on the other side of the bridal party I’d wanna make sure I didn’t starve

We had breakfast quiche for breakfast along with coffees and mimosa. For lunch, we had chicken salad sandwiches, a charcuterie tray, and a few other munchies with some wine & beer options. I was so caught up in the day, I could barely eat anything 🤣. Everyone else was full.

We are going for breakfast before hair and make up starts. I’ll have fruits and veggies on hand while we are getting ready and sandwiches of some kind delivered to the hotel for lunch.

Yes yes yes! I am feeding everyone as much as I can the whole weekend. It is super easy to get caught up in events and forget/not have time to eat. We will be having a lot of alcohol available, so food is a necessity. I wouldn't worry about people getting too full or bloated. They are adults and can regulate that for themselves.

I think Panera is a good idea, but I would get salads and/or sandwiches. Not just pastries and fruit. I went to one and they did wraps, which were less messy and easy to eat.

We are doing breakfast and lunch!
Our ceremony is at 2:30 and our day starts at the venue by 9. I plan on having coffee, quiche, fruit, and maybe some donuts laying around when they get there. The guys aren't arriving until 12 and they will bring lunch with them. We are doing sandwiches and chips.

We're at a bed and breakfast the whole weekend so breakfast will be provided. We also have a smaller farmhouse on site with a few rooms and fully decked out kitchen. We're going to put snacks, water and platters in there for everyone to have access to.
