Hey,
My daughter is doing a destination wedding in June 2023 and I’m planning it (gulp) and I’m not 100 % sure of what is appropriate, not appropriate, etc., I have a couple of questions I would love some input on.
Approximately 50 guest
Desert - how many options should I offer ? Wedding cake is small , and we did order 24 cupcakes, but I feel like we should offer a little more .
Seating - is seating charts required? We are a very close family so I don’t have a preference to who sits where . We are doing reserved for bride and groom of course as well as the parents /grandparents, but other than that , it’s sit where you want . The groom only has about 12 out of the 50 people coming.
Dinnerware - should I rent plates and glasses ? I’m not sure about the plastic, I just don’t want it to look cheap? Is there a cheaper option that looks elegant. It’s my only daughter so I get to do this once.
Ceremony seating - do I get enough seats/benches for all or just the parents /grandparents. Grandparents can’t stand for that long. I’m really on the fence with this one. I feel like I need it for all.
Dinner - it is an evening wedding so serving dinner is a must . What I’m not sure of is , do we do buffet? Or have it served ?
Most are traveling 5+ hours to attend so I want our guest to know we appreciate them taking time off of work and traveling to make the bride and grooms day as great as it can be .
Which leads me to favors? I’m struggling with this one.. not wether or not to do it , but what to do.
