I think an 80 dollar meal is alot on top of whatever you are going to pay her, maybe just tell her that you will be providing snacks but give her a twenty for her "meal expenses" before getting to the wedding....i think the 80 includes all the fancy service and would NOT be worth it for her to take with her or waste if she does eat before hand. jmo
