Feeding bridal party on the weddding day

Are y'all having food for your bridal party before the ceremony on your wedding day? If so, what are you providing? My DOC mentioned Panera bread, but I was thinking more of the finger food route. Any ideas?

    I have never thought about it. I do remember being in another wedding where the bride hadn't eaten all day so I had to run to Jimmy John's and get her something so she didn't pass out

    My venue supplies food and snacks for us. Im not sure what it is but if it's not something the girls would like, then I will feed them & let them decide what & where from. No one likes a hungry girl lol

    We are ordering from Panera. There are of ten of us total. FH and I are paying for 10 full sandwiches, salads, fruit cups, green tea, and kettle chips to be delivered. The catering ladies who are taking care of us have been really great.

    Must Love Cats... you're so close! How are you feeling? Panera is a good idea, and whoop for the catering ladies.

    The bridal suite at my venue includes food and beverages so we'll have plenty to eat while we get ready. Looking at the contract it says we'll have "water and assorted beverages, 2 bottles of sparkling wine, fruit platter, tea sandwiches, trail mix and a cookie plate" - yum!

    My amazing and lovely BM who offered her house for getting prettified in, is going to feed us. I think she's had it planned for months and can't wait to see what she "cooks up". She loves nothing more than to feed people. I hit the jackpot 30 years ago when we became friends.

    A few of my bridesmaids are getting ready with me, so I am providing bagels and spreads. Then we are all meeting at my grandmothers for pictures and getting dressed and she's providing a sandwich platter for us.

    I did a fruit tray and donuts and drinks while we did our hair everyone liked it. I think something simple will be fine

    My mom ordered 15 feet worth of subs. Yes, FEET. Plus chips, cookies, pasta salad, potato salad, and garden salad. This was in addition to the breakfast of bagels, fruit, and yogurt. Needless to say, we had a lot leftover, but I gave most of it to the mailman and he was very appreciative.

    We'll probably end up going somewhere in the morning together and getting breakfast and mimosas. For lunch, we're just going to get some wrap and veggie trays from Costco and leave in the bridal suite for the girls to have at their leisure while we're all getting ready.

    I'm assuming the guys will all go out and do their own thing together since it won't take them long to get ready and they'll be playing golf in morning.

    We shared brunch at the dining room table in our suite and it was so special. Everyone loved the food and so nice to be pampered by room service staff!

    Ooh I genuinely hadn't thought of this. Definitely not the most pressing issue, but I'll have to budget it in

    I'm planning to pick up donuts for breakfast and probably Panera for lunch. FH asked for pizza for lunch that day so I plan to call that in for the guys.

    We did Panera and mimosas for breakfast while we were at the salon. I ordered everyone lunch from Chick Fil A and my dad picked it up and brought it to us in the hotel's bridal suite. Probably a little heavier than necessary, but it was something I knew all the girls would like!

    My husband and groomsmen had lunch out at a local restaurant and watched some basketball during the day since they had less to do.

    Our wedding was at 6p so we had to be at the church at like 4p so not much else to eat after lunchtime!

    We did sandwich platters from Shoprite and stuff to drink. It wasn't that expensive. Oh and plenty of wine Smiley smile

    Definitely feed them! Having previously been a professional bridesmaid, so many brides forget about this. We're doing a sandwich tray but made up so you pick out what goes on your sandwich. We'll probably have enough to also feed the MUA and videographer since they'll be there most of the day.

    Yes feed them! I was a BM where we got no food until the 4pm dinner but we're drinking mimosas all morning. The bride and most BMs, myself included were very drunk at the ceremony. I'm making a low carb breakfast casserole ready the night before to be popped into oven for breakfast and then jimmy John's platters, fruit and veggie tray and chips for lunch.

    Remember that the wedding party won't get appetizers if you are doing pictures after and will be starving.
