who comes to the tasting? everyone????!!!

Who is paying? Whoever is paying should def be there. We were allowed 4 people for our tasting. We are paying for the wedding ourselves so we invited both of our Mothers. Ask your caterer how many people are allowed at tasting- maybe they'll only want the 2 of you.

I think this is up to first, the caterer/vendor to see how many people they allow. Then who you are comfortable with attending. If parents are paying and want to attend I would say the have dibs on tasting.

You two. The end.

I would take your Mom and FMIL, and your Dad if he really wants to go. I don't think your MOHs really need to be a part of that decision. Just my opinion.

The more opinions the have, the more miserable your day will be, no matter how good the food is. Just you and your FH and parents if you wish to include them. Some caterers will charge for more than 2 people so ask in advance.

Our venue offered a tasting before we booked, free of charge, and encouraged us to bring our parents, so I did. FH could not come. We will do another tasting closer to the event.

Only DH and I attended ours since ours were the only opinions that mattered there. We were allowed 4 people, but didn't have any interest in involving anyone else. Invite who you want to invite and just tell the rest that your venue/caterer won't allow that many guests so you're sorry they can't attend. Or tell them the truth, that it's not really something they need to attend! Definitely find out from your caterer how many they will allow, as others have suggested. You may not be able to invite anyone.

FH and I went to the tasting. It was nice having it just be us.

We are allowed to have two additional people with us, including me and my FH, so instead of having to choose parents we actually decided to invite my sister and his sister. We're both really close with our families, and it'll be their first opportunity to see the venue too. Plus it made them feel included in the process in a special way.

It was free for us but if anyone wanted to go it was $30 per person. It should just be you and your FH.

Check what your caterer allows. We were free, but we wanted our parents there so we paid for them to attend. I don't know anyone whose MOH attended. That seems a bit strange?

I dont get swayed from opinions so that's not what I'm afraid of..

I would like to include FMIL because its the first time shes interested in something and i think shutting that door in her face would make it hard to reopen it (she doesn't like me and this could be her extending an olive branch)

I didn't take anyone to any of my tastings except for my fh. It's essentially our big day so we got to choose

Our venue included a complimentary tasting for two in our contract, so just FH and I went.

Around the time we booked the venue, they held a tasting event that included samples and info from some of the vendors they work with a lot. FH and I live across the country, so my parents went instead. Since they're contributing financially, I'm glad they also had an opportunity to taste the food. Their event was different, as the venue chose which dishes and appetizers they got to sample and there were many different clients who had booked events at the venue in attendance, whereas the tasting FH and I had was private and we got to choose which entrées we wanted to taste.

Cake tasting was different. Due to FH and I having different travel schedules and not all the bakers being available when FH would be in town, my mom attended two of our three cake tastings with me. We asked the bakers if we could box up the leftovers so we would have samples to also give FH when he did get into town.

Only my fiancé and I are allowed at our tasting. No extra people.

I suggest just you two... that way no one gets hurt if you choose one over the other. If you would really want people to come then just your parents.

Tell them all they can't come. Problem solved.

We can have 4 total people at our complimentary tasting which includes the two of us. My parents are paying for a big portion of the wedding so we invited them and then FH and I will obviously go as well. The events manager at our venue said more can go but it is $50/pp. FH wanted his dad to go and my sister wanted to go but I said no, because they weren't paying so I don't think they should have a say in what foods we pick. But if we were the ones paying, I don't think we would bring anyone else with us.

I'm sure the place has a limit. Use that as the reason.

I would be kinda thrown off if more than the bride and groom came to a tasting . In the 5 years I've been doing weddings I've never had anyone but a bride and groom come . Once a couple brought their daughter but that was adorable lol
