Who to Feed?

Don't forget your photographer and videographer, if you have one.

My bartender will be supplied by the catering company, so I am assuming they will feed him like they feed themselves...

I assume you'd include the bus boy too if he's there for the full reception.

I didn't pay for anyone the venue included, I figured they fed themselves.

My venue coordinator just went over the external vendors that I'm using for additional food cost, they didn't include themselves.

@Chantel, no videographer and photographer is a relative

@beth & futuremrs it's a party hall and we're having a restaurant cater the food buffet style, does that make a difference?

Provide food for everyone. It's the polite thing to do.

I was just thinking about this. When I add it up, we have at least an additional 20 people to feed. That would be like 3 extra tables. ugh...

@LisaKitty i think I am, it's only two more people and we're having buffet I can always have someone just put together a plate for them. Thank you.

@Christina YIKES that's a lot

We are feeding everyone there.

I would just ask the vendors instead of guessing. I would much rather be sure that I need too rather than shell the money out and find out they are included/wouldn't need to be fed. If the bartender and bussers are separate from the caterer, I would also ask the caterer what they would be able to do for the vendors or if there is special pricing for them.

@jenja we're just having the food delivered by a restaurant it's not an on site caterer. I'm just gonna include them, two people aren't going to make a huge difference. I'm just glad I thought of it now, I totally forgot to include them on the list.

I've been to parties were the band wasn't included in the formal dinner but did get some food - just a bit simpler version but tasty nonetheless! Anyways, they didn't had time to have 5 course dinner and play music... so one or two course dinner and enough drinks!
