Breakfast and/ or lunch on wedding day

Yes, I'd definitely provide food - you could do a brunch which might fit the timeline well! I was a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding, and there wasn't any food because no one had really thought of it. The bride got hangry and by the time we all realized we should get some food, delivery took forever and everyone was kind of on edge. Figuring all of that out on the day of was just an extra hassle that would have been better taken care of in advance.

Yes, your wedding party should definitely be fed

100% organise for food to be available to your crew on the day.

Our wedding began at 5pm but we left for photos at 2pm so were getting ready from 8am and I had large platters of hot and cold food for grazing so that the bridal table and glam squad could gradually eat as the morning went by.

Yes, we fed our bridal party (and anyone else who came to get ready with us). I asked the bridesmaids who were staying with me what they wanted for when we woke up, and then bought yoghurt, muesli and fruit for them, even though we had big share platters delivered around 9:30 with cheese, crackers, dips, fruits, chocolates, etc. They looked amazing and I was so excited to eat them, but on the day I was not only suuuper busy, but I also just.. couldn't eat and when I finally wanted food, my makeup was fully done so it was kind of hard, which was sad.

Meanwhile my now-husband asked his groomsmen what they wanted, and bought a full English - hash browns, bacon, eggs, sausages etc, haha! But none of my side wanted anything as much as that, just a bit of something.

We’re doing both! So our wedding party who will be there early with us helping us set up (9am) / getting ready and our early vendors have will get breakfast! Then throughout lunch/ early afternoon our other vendors and bridal party will get fed again. Nothing too big because obviously we’ll have food again. Just little sandwiches for lunch and something simple for breakfast

I'm doing a breakfast "grazing table" at my house for the girls along with juices, water, champagne for mimosas, and seltzers.

Then during the early afternoon at the venue while the wedding party is taking pictures I'll have a hoagie tray and some light snacks, for the wedding party to tide them over till cocktail hour & dinner.

Yes! I think it's something people commonly forget. My sister's backyard wedding was at dinner time and there were about 12 family members setting up all day with no provisions! Her FH's nephew finally decided to order himself food and made the whole house smell like Asian takeout right before guests started arriving 🤦‍♀️So I'm learning from that and supplying a light brunch and charcuterie for my wedding party and family while we get ready.

For me and the girls I will be doing a brunch type thing, my wedding is at 4pm and we will be at the venue to get ready at 10 am. I am going to want to eat and so will they lol The guys are all getting ready at his fathers house so I am sure they will be well fed.

Yes, I think that providing food to the wedding party the day of is a given.

Yes, definitely give food to your wedding party.

Fed people are happy people-- wedding party, caregivers, vendors, and YOU.

Yes. I get my venue at 9am Friday morning and have it until 9am Sunday morning. I will be getting pizza for lunch for anyone who offers to help Friday during the day to set up and I will be getting a Subway sub tray Saturday for lunch for wedding party and family who might be there early. Everyone is on their own for breakfast since the time they need to show up varies.

Everyone was on their own for breakfast, since the ladies didn't need to be at the salon until 9, and then we went to the venue, and the guys didn't have to be at the venue until noon, but we got charcuterie trays, fruit trays, and veggie trays from Publix as well as cookies from Costco and assorted beverages. Our coordinator pulled everything out about lunchtime and we all snacked throughout the afternoon. My brother and SIL had pizza and some assorted sides (dips, etc.).

All of that to say - you don't have to have anything huge or fancy, but definitely feed everyone - including YOU!

YES! As a bride who is prone to getting hangry, I plan (or will task one of my lovely bridesmaids) to make sure we have breakfast and lunch. It's so important to eat! Don't want to be woozy going down the aisle!

Yes every time I have been a bridesmaids at least breakfast and some nibbles are provided. Bagels/ croissants and donuts with coffee, juice, water and fruit is easy to do while getting ready. Also make sure you have some items that aren't messy or greasy so you nibble without worrying about messing up your make up and outfits. Some light snacks (even if its just a granola, crackers, or a luna bar) that can be packed and thrown in the limos/transportation are a nice idea too. I get light headed and cranky if I don't eat all day. I m sure the guys will get some nice breakfast sandwiches or pizza. And especially if you ll be having any alcohol available pre wedding you'll want make sure there is some food out.

My aunt helped organize lunch in the back room of our venue so the wedding party and anyone who was helping out beforehand could get fed. It was chicken salad and some other cold options so you could drop by and make a plate as you had time. Very informal but it worked perfectly! Our ceremony started at 2pm and we were serving a full meal at the reception, for reference.

Got some great ideas here!
