Enough food choices?

on October 7, 2019 at 9:14 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
My fiancé is dead set on having a whole pig at our reception. He’s told all of his buddies and they’re so excited about it. I know we will need another meat option because that is definitely not for everyone. So far our menu choices are as follows:
salad
rolls
chef station with pig
chicken
mashed potato bar
mac and cheese bar
green beans

Are all of these too “heavy”? I know we have at least one vegetarian who will be there. I’m planning on making any changes that are needed based off of dietary restrictions I get back on RSVP’s. My mom has food allergies so I completely understand and want to make everyone feel welcome and also not go home hungry.

There will be a cocktail hour before with cheese, fruit, and meat trays along. They will all be on their own trays so there is no cross contamination.

Dessert options are:
Chocolate chip cookies
sugar cookies (local baker that everyone goes gaga over)
Brownies
possibly mini pies - we haven’t set this in stone seeing as though we are still a year out.

If you’re reading any of these meal or dessert options and thinking - ew - or - it would be great if this was offered, etc. Let me know! I’m open to options. We’ve not attended very many weddings recently and are definitely not pros. Thanks!

    I think they sound good. My brother-in-law got married recently and I left the wedding starving because I didn't like any of their food options, but yours sound really good.

    Sounds good to me. The only thing I can think of is mac n cheese and mashed potatoes are both starches and having both of these bars might be a little much but I'd eat them both hahaha.

    I think they sound fine since you have another protein option & a salad, then two sides. That's pretty standard wedding food!
