Breakfast Buffet? Mini Vent.

Now I am just confused. I got kind of upset when all of this started and tried to change the subject, but a couple of people kept talking about it. I guess my main question after this long rant is this....What do you guys think of doing a breakfast buffet at a wedding? Is it a super big no? Will people care what it is as long as it's good? I just don't know anymore. Also am i thinking too much on what happened over the weekend? I do that all the time, I am too sensitive for my own good. But it all seemed to hit a bad cord with me. Am I over reacting? Again? Thanks guys!

My FH and I decided on brunch for our wedding. We love brunch foods. They are less expensive than traditional dinnertime foods. People drink less at brunch than they do at an evening wedding. We had no trouble securing a venue earlier in the day. Our wedding will be at 11am on a Saturday at a gorgeous, historic restaurant in the French Quarter. It will be a 3 course meal for $35 per person.

There are always going to be people at your wedding that complain about something. You can't please everyone so please yourself.

I know people here have different opinions but for me as long as there is enough food and it is good quality I'm not picky. Breakfast, pizza or food trucks are fine with me.

I went to a wedding that had stations and it included breakfast foods so that was cool. They also had some dinner foods. Omelette station, fruit/cheese/yogurt/breads station, waffle station, roast beef carving station, pasta station, and passed apps like soup shooters and mini salads. I think everyone liked the mix and could pick and choose.

I think that is something that people will either love or hate...I'm going to guess not a whole lot of middle ground. I am in the "love it" camp. My FH hates breakfast for dinner (and he doesn't hate a whole lot when it comes to food.) If it's something that you guys want to do, I would say go for it. You're never going to be able to satisfy 100% of your guests.

I love breakfast for dinner! And if it's more brunch-themed, you can still include some standard dinner fare on the buffet, too. Everyone wins!

Spazzytazi - I never thought about that, that's a good idea

Thanks everyone! I am just such a people pleaser, it makes it hard when planning things for myself lol. We will be having salad, and maybe some chicken or something as well but mostly breakfast stuff. Bacon, muffins, pancakes, omelette stations and other things.

I love breakfast for dinner!! some might find it weird, but like PPs said you cant please everyone. I would be cognizant of people with egg, milk, and/or gluten allergies since it seems like all things breakfast involve at least one of those things.

Do what makes YOU happy. I've learned through this wedding process you can't make everyone happy. On a side note I'd be happy with breakfast foods

Don't let them bring you down. I would love breakfast for dinner. In fact, that is something we do often around our house.

I've been to all sorts of receptions, Pizza, Pasta, Big 6 course game hens on every plate, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that everyone gets enough, there are options, and that it tastes good. I think a breakfast for dinner sounds fun. Bacon and waffles all day long!

ETA: People are going to complain and ppl on here all have different ideas of whats right. Just treat your guests who you would want to be treated and you'll be fine. We've honestly had people complain to us that we are not serving their favorite kind of pork option or the venue doesn't stock their favorite bourbon. Just laugh it off.

I love the idea of brunch food for dinner, but then again I am obsessed with that type of food. In reality, it is your wedding and you shouldn't change what you want just because some friends complained.

On the weekends, I go to brunch as late as 4pm. The best part of brunch is it combines breakfast and lunch foods so it's something for every palette. I love the idea of a night time brunch! It could really be a lot of fun.

Breakfast for dinner is awesome. I personally love that. But not everyone might. I say doooooooooo it. If you have enough options people will make do.

If you and your FH like the idea of having a breakfast buffet at your reception then do it. Don't let any of the external noise take you away from what you guys want. Don't over think your decisions, if you're happy with it, do it.

I love breakfast for dinner. If that was the wedding meal I might want to know ahead of time, and most likely I'd be excited for it. I do think it would be a good idea to have stations at the buffet so people can get omelettes or waffles made to order. An awesome thing about brunch is that usually a lunch or dinner option is offered too. A carving station or fried chicken to make chicken and waffles would fit in with the theme and provide more diverse options.

I think if you want a brunch wedding at night do it. People will find something they like. We are doing a brunch wedding though It will take place at brunch time. Maybe you can add something like chicken or pasta. We have the brunch but then a pasta station, a chicken station, and a type of meat so that everyone can find something they can enjoy. Ours would have been cheaper but I felt the need to add a fondue so we didn't really save money ahah.

First off: breakfast for dinner is AMAZING! Second: no one at your wedding is going to pass up free food regardless of the fact that is is breakfast. Third: It is your day and if you want breakfast, go for it, you are the one paying for it!

But just a friendly tip: stop talking about your wedding to other people. Everyone has an opinion and it might not be nice or constructive. It could be crazy and upsetting (not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet havn't read the comments yet!).

BRINNER!

breakfast food is the best. If she is going to be a grouch about brinner, I'll take her place.
