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

I'm just bringing FH. It seems strange that all those people want to come.

It was just the two of us, even though my parents paid for our wedding. Our venue was a 3-hour round trip from home. The in laws lived 3.5 hours further west, of the venue. We did bring back the sample box of cake flavors, fillings, and icings, to share with my parents. We chose everything; my husband and I each picked one set of cake/filling.

Our venue had one, huge spring tasting, for everyone who had booked with the venue, for the following year. I think it was $60 per person. The venue/resort had multiple ballrooms, outside, and off-site spaces. They had a ridiculous amount of food, including almost all the choices/4 courses they offered, passed hors d'oeuvres, signature cocktails, etc.; we were stuffed.

Both sets of parents came with us for the tasting. The all are helping to pay for the wedding and we felt like they should be there. I've never heard of MOHs going to the tasting unless no family was able to go.

I would limit it to family.

The 2 people getting married.

Its just me and my fh going

Ours was myself, H, MOB, and MIL. Our caterer didn't put a limit on how many could come, nor did he charge. I included their moms because I'm vegetarian (so I couldn't eat the proteins) and H will eat about anything.

We had my parents and us. They said they usually don't allow that many people so I would ask how many your venue allows.

Just the two of you.

My venue said we could have up to 4 people total, but because both of our parents are contributing, we decided just the two of us.

Me, my husband, and my MIL (who payed for the wedding).

You, FH and if someone else is paying then they can come, but no one else needs to.

For us, the cost and distance were factors. It was free for the two of us, but $75 a person for anyone else. We also only have 1 parent who lives a realistic distance so it didn't make sense. We just enjoyed it as a fancy date night out

My venue only allowed 3 people to come with me. I only ended up bringing my MIL.

We could bring 2 additional people with us. My mom (who's helping to pay) and our daughter went with us.

I'm having my step mom come in my place (I'll still be there) but I'm way too picky to like most of the food we'll have so I need someone else's opinion since FH likes anything

I had a few ppl help pay for the wedding, but no one came, they all said your wedding you guys pick...

Check with your caterer! When looking into caterers on my own a lot of them stipulated a max of 4 people including bride and groom. I don't think the tasting needs to be a big production - if you have to, just tell everyone that your caterer only allows the bride and groom. Personally, I wouldn't really appreciate anyone's input on food anyway so I wouldn't want the extra voices trying to "help" make that decision.

Our caterer/venue owner is coming in half way through our planing process (shift in hands at the venue) so she's trying to keep us happy with all of the changes. She said we could bring both of our parents, so a total of 6. FFIL couldn't come, so there were 5 of us.

We made the decisions together, my parents are paying for the reception, but FMIL is helping with portions of the day, so we wanted her to feel very included too.
