Step 1
Keep in mind the time of day when your reception will be held. Brunches, luncheons and dinner receptions will all call for different foods for both those who eat meat and those who do not.
-
Step 2
How formal will your wedding reception be? The foods that you choose for an outdoor wedding reception would be different from those chosen for a wedding reception that you are holding in a ballroom, and that will have an impact on the meat and vegetarian options that you make available at your wedding reception.
-
Step 3
Think about who will be attending the reception. If you are having mainly guests who are in their twenties and thirties, your menu will be different than if you are having a large number of kids or older guests.
-
Step 4
Plan to include foods that you and your fiance want to have at your wedding. Even if you will be eating meat, choose to include a vegetarian entree that will complement the rest of the menu.
-
Step 5
Take into consideration what your caterer offers. Simply put, if the caterer you are using for your wedding reception does not make a certain vegetarian dish, you will not be able to add it to your menu.
-
Step 6
Decide whether or not you will be having a theme to the menu at your reception. If so, be sure that the vegetarian entree fits the theme.
-
Step 7
Meet with the caterer to taste different options and choose the items that you will include on the menu for your wedding reception.
