Here at I Thee Wed, we understand that weddings take so much effort to plan, which is why we have gathered some top tips to creating a wonderful wedding menu, so be sure to continue reading to gain some insight for yours:


·         Create a budget. Your wedding budget determines what you can, and cannot afford for your wedding, so of course it is of utmost importance that you remain within it. Overall, set a budget for your wedding, and within that dollar amount, create sections that are suited for each element, such as food and drinks, this way you have an approximate idea as to how much money you have to spend within each area of your wedding.


·         Set a style. The food you have at your wedding can be served in many forms, so you will have to decide what type of style will work best for your reception. Do you want the food to be the main focus? If so, a sit-down dinner would be a great option. If, however, you seek a more relaxed approach to your menu, then opt for a buffet or even passed appetizers, allowing your guests to eat as they please.


·         Provide options. Your wedding guests consist of many people, people who all have their own interests and dietary restrictions when it comes to food. Some guests may have allergies to certain foods, while others may be gluten-free, so it is highly important that you provide an array of options, allowing everyone to have a bite to eat without worry.


·         Sentimental touches. If you want to add a sentimental touch to your wedding menu, incorporate your favorite dishes within it. Think about your favorite foods, or even the dishes you had on your first date together, and allow them to create your wedding menu. Another fun idea is to create bars, such as a pasta bar; if you both love the Italian cuisine, allowing your guests to enjoy an array of options that they can construct themselves is a great idea.

When it comes to planning your wedding, you should certainly be at ease! This is your time to enjoy one of the happiest days of your life, and you should be making memories, not stressing about the details.
