This has got to be one of the hardest decisions ever!

It is bad enough feeding family and friends when they pop round for tea, let alone feeding 50+ people, all of which probably like their dinners ‘just so’. How do you keep them all happy?!

Honest answer? Don’t.

Seriously. It is YOUR big day!! Order what you want people to share with you - yes they may grumble, but if they love and care about you (as they should if you are inviting them to your wedding) then they may mutter, but won’t really mind.

However, if you are one of those that prefers to keep the peace rather than take the risk of keeping yourself happy, then follow some hard n fast rules, and you can’t go wrong:

• do not over season anything - no spices especially
• make sure there is a veggie option
• make sure there is an alternative too fish & nut dishes (in case of allergies - and if you know someone in the party has a massive allergy to somethnig, warn the kitches - the smallest cross contamination can set some people off, and an A&E visit on your big day is the wrong kind of visit!)
• if there are any religious reasons for certain foods to be served or not served, check and plan for that accordingly
• try and avoid overly alcoholic tastes - some don’t like it

Just a couple of tips to help you out!
