Lunch for bridesmaids?

Sarah, on June 13, 2022 at 12:16 AM Posted in Planning 6 18
So our wedding ceremony is at 4:00pm (not until September 17th) .. our venue is at a beautiful bed and breakfast place so our bridesmaids are all staying the night and enjoying breakfast there the morning of.. The makeup artist is going to arrive at 10:30 to start. Do I order and pay for everyone’s lunch ?

    I would, yes. I would feel like I want to thank them for being there.

    I agree you should feed them lunch. Depending on your start time, you may also want to feed them breakfast. I'm buying both for my wedding party and am just getting platters from a grocery store.

    It’s a bed and breakfast place so they get breakfast already !

    Yes, I’d definitely say pay for their lunch. If they’re getting free breakfast the lunch can be on you. It doesn’t have to be any expensive either and you never know, they might still be full from breakfast where all of them might not be hungry at lunch.

    That sounds like a great option Smiley smile Maybe some fruit or a veggie tray as well, just so there's something a little fresh? Also, I might get some kind of wrap versus a traditional sandwich, because bread can lead to bloat and that's not something you want for your wedding!

    Yes, you should feed them lunch. We ordered a couple of platters from Panera bread (little sandwiches, fruit, etc.) and it worked out very well

    I think that's a great idea! I'm planning to order my squad coffee and some brunch items since hair and makeup starts so early in the day. I also REALLY want to avoid anyone getting light-headed and passing out during the ceremony.

    Yes I d defintely get lunch. Doesn't have to be anything big wraps, bagels, sandwiches etc. Or if you don't want to do a lunch then maybe a heavy snack set up, humus and pitas, fruit salad, cheese and meat board, veggies and dips. You don't want a hangry bridal party Smiley winking

    For sure get them something. We ordered lunch delivered for whoever wanted it. Since it was in the middle of our makeup team's hours, we had people get their hair styled first, then they ate very quickly, then did makeup last.

    Yep sandwiches is fine. It doesn't have to be a big involved meal, you'll be too busy anyway.

    100% yes. We had fruit, chips and wraps/sandwiches delivered from Jimmy Johns. Nothing fancy but enough to get through the day!
