Vegetarian wedding

Ok! I didn't think about that aspect. I guess another implicit assumption of mine is that people wouldn't claim sensitivities or allergies just to avoid the main options. That would be awful and a lot to manage, i agree!

My best friend had a vegetarian reception- the groom was vegan at the time. They ordered Indian actually! Cost effective and good tasting. I asked her about it and she told me they didn't give AF about what anyone else thought (all the close friends love Indian food but families not as much), it was their day. They advised us to do the same for our day- do what makes us happy, don't accommodate others. I will probably keep this in mind but all in all it's probably fine. Haters gonna hate, don't worry about them.

You should search WW forums - there are a lot of posts about this.

My take is a vegetarian wedding is totally fine. Anyone can skip meat for a meal or a few hours. I would definitely have your friends find a really good vegetarian catering company to do the food though - vegetarian done well with fresh, local ingredients is incredible, but vegetarian done by someone who isn't used to serving that cuisine or who uses a lot of inexpensive bulk ingredients can be really disappointing and unfulfilling.

A good caterer can make great vegetarian dishes that anyone will eat. If someone refuses to eat what you graciously offer, that is on them.

Indian food is delicious. As long as the spice temperature is at a minimum, no one will miss the meat and nearly everyone loves it. Plus you can order this from a local restaurant for a fraction of the price of a wedding caterer.

A vegetarian reception is totally doable and there are so many great and filling dishes to choose from! Land and air meat makes me sick, so I'm pescetarian (will still eat fish) for health reasons. My FH is a big meat eater. We've had dinners that were vegetarian and he's never been left hungry. I would caution against fake meat alternatives, though. They sound good in theory, and are a great option for those who actually are vegetarian, but meat eaters generally aren't as stoked on them. They often don't taste as good (to them) as the real thing and it can be very disappointing for them. I'd suggest sticking with vegetarian meals that are good on their own, like a cheesy ravioli, tofu stir fry, or many Indian dishes.

Vegetarian weddings offer many advantages over traditional wedding ceremonies and receptions that include conventional food offerings. These advantages include reduced cost, less involvement with religious rituals, and more emphasis on environmentalism. There are many reasons why a couple wants to exclude food from their wedding day. Some may be religious and wish to remain true to their beliefs while avoiding certain foods they consider sinful. Anyway, I found for my wedding a lot of protein-rich food in India that was very tasty. All guests were delighted.

I'm ovovegetarian (don't eat milk or cheese, just plants and eggs), and when I have a dinner party I serve people delicious vegan food. I mean rich fun curries, hearty lentil soups, or Indian twists on foods like eggplant. Haven't had a complaint yet! I actually eat very little gluten, its easy to find vegan pasta that does not contain wheat.

For a keto twist, any type of omelet or frittata would work, with cheese and roasted low-sugar veggies like broccoli and cauliflower.
