Stations menu on invitations

Amanda, on July 12, 2019 at 6:23 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10
We are planning to have a brunch wedding reception with different stations/buffet lines. Are we hoping to have an omlette station, french toast, a carving station, a salad bar, and then a brunch buffet with bacon, potatoes, and fruit. I would like to somehow include this menu on my website and/or invitations. Your should I include this without giving "meal options"

    I've never seen a menu on an invite and food is only usually mentioned on a RSVP if there is a choice. If you really feel the need to put it somewhere I'd just put it on your website.

    I wouldn’t bother with listing a menu on the website or in an invitation. If you say it’s a brunch reception people will have a good idea of what to expect and it sounds like you’re planning a variety that should include something for most everyone. Are you concerned about dietary restrictions and/or food allergies? My daughter has food allergies, so if I’m ever concerned I just reach out in advance.

    Why do you need to provide the menu for a non plated meal? I wouldn’t include it at all. If you really feel the need to share, maybe put it in the FAQ on your website.

    I don’t think you really need to put it on the invites. People will know it’s not plated when you don’t give meal options. If you really want to just say “a stationary brunch will be served”.

    Unless it's evening I wouldn't mention the menu.
    If it was I, just for my own wedding not a suggestion, would put something dumb like "get excited, it's breakfast for dinner!"

    We had a stationed brunch wedding during 11:30am-6:30pm on a Sunday last September. We definitely let everyone know it was an adults only boozy brunch wedding dance party. We never disclosed or menu until the day of and we made sure with our restaurant venue they could accommodate all dietary restriction for celiac and gluten free, vegan, dairy free guests.
    Less details would be better honestly, people form opinions then will ask millions of questions about it. It's super exciting though, after we had our tasting we wanted to show off our menu but kept it a surprise

    Instead I would ask for dietary restriction for your invite

    You could list menu on the website if you want but it's not necessary. It's only necessary to ask people if they have allergies or diet restrictions to specify

    We are doing a station/buffet dinner as well. We dont have a website and are not giving a meal option or writing anything on our invitation. Our invitations only say "buffet style dinner and dancing to follow" so people know. Also on our detail card we are including we wrote a little blurb about how we know most of their allergies but if they have food or alcohol allergies/ restrictions we may not know about to contact one of us.

    If it's a buffet, you don't have to include meal options.
