Reception dinner side dishes

Is it crazy to serve 2 starches as sides with a dinner buffet? We're going to have appetizers and a salad beforehand. Buffet will have a chicken and beef option (guests can choose either or both). The sides in question are mashed potatoes and rice, and I really liked both of them with the protein options. Is the pre-dinner salad enough of a vegetable option?

I think it’s fine to serve two starches, but I would definitely serve a vegetable with them.

I would add a veggie option if at all possible, not just salad.

That's fine! I would also be the type to add a different veggie though rather than rice.

We're having mac & cheese and scalloped potatoes as sides. So clearly I am in favor in the double starch idea!

But I agree with the others that you should definitely have some type of veggie. We're doing 2 starches, 2 veggies. But if you can only do 2 sides, I would do one of each.

I think adding a veggie as a side is a good idea. Green beans or roasted veggies won’t be terribly expensive.
