Sharing your\u00a0first meal together at your\u00a0wedding reception will be a special moment. But in between organising a menu you love\u00a0and picking out the perfect champagne, catering to\u00a0vegetarians at your wedding (and those with other dietary requirements) can sometimes be overlooked. Here are some tips to ensure nobody goes hungry on your big day.<\/p>\n
By learning of the dietary requirements of your guests in advance, it will be much easier to cater to their needs on the day.\u00a0Simply add a note on your invitation instructing them to let you know\u00a0of any dietary needs when they RSVP.\u00a0This way you will have exact numbers of guests that are vegetarian, vegan, etc and plan for them accordingly. It also words you up on any allergies that your guests might have. Peanut allergies for instance can be so severe that even trace amounts in a dish can cause a reaction. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to need to administer an Epipen on one of your guests!<\/p>\n
Head here for a\u00a0closer look at\u00a0the various different types of wedding menus.<\/a><\/p>\n Choose\u00a0a caterer <\/a>that not only offers delicious food, but is flexible enough to also cater for anyone with special dietary needs is important. By doing this you can either serve food that all guests can enjoy or make specific meals for guests with dietary needs. You can begin your research now by\u00a0<\/span>asking the local caterers in your area<\/a>.<\/p>\n An alternative\u00a0options for catering<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0vegetarians at your wedding is to put\u00a0on a\u00a0buffet that offers a variety of dishes that suit\u00a0various dietary requirements. This also allows your wedding guests to specifically choose what they want to eat, and how much they want. This set up also gives your guests a chance to mingle as they get up from their tables to serve their food..<\/p>\n [ew-supplier-carousel]<\/p>\n Given that you’ve chosen a wedding caterer that works with\u00a0various dietary requirements, you can add\u00a0a vegetarian\/vegan\/gluten-free option to your wedding\u2019s set menu. So, if chicken or beef is on the menu for your meat-eating guests, ensure there’s a tasty pasta, curry or tofu dish\u00a0for your vego friends. Another idea\u00a0is to serve fish as an option, which will cater to\u00a0pescetarians (people who eat fish but not red meat).\u00a0<\/strong>This is a common solution for guests with dietary requirements so you should expect most (if not all) caterers to provide these options.<\/a><\/p>\n If salads don\u2019t fill meat eaters, how are they meant to fill guests that are vegetarian or vegan? Don\u2019t leave your veggie friends picking at a couple of bits of lettuce and tomato, but rather make sure they are catered to\u00a0with\u00a0something substantial. There is no shortage of vege-friendly dishes possible and vegetarian and vegan cuisine has come a long way from the days when a vegetarian dish simply required\u00a0removing any\u00a0meat from a standard\u00a0dish.<\/span><\/p>\n Catering to friends and family with dietary requirements is common courtesy and shouldn’t be overlooked.\u00a0It includes them in the special moment of\u00a0sharing your first meal as a married couple and allows them to fully enjoy themselves without a grumbling stomach and hunger pains – or a quick stop at Maccas after the wedding.<\/p>\nPick a caterer that offers dietary options<\/h2>\n
