How to Pick Reception Food for a Morning Wedding
When you plan reception food for a morning wedding, you can also plan to save money. Unlike an evening ceremony which usually calls for dinner or heavy appetizers, a morning wedding leans toward light fare. Most people simply aren't that hungry early in the day. Plan a delicious menu that will wow your guests, whether you want a buffet or a formal sit-down meal. And you won't break the bank.

Serve traditional brunch food, but give it a twist. Add slivers of ham and roasted red peppers to a chafing dish of scrambled eggs. Spear chunks of fruit on skewers for colorful fruit kabobs. Dish up a platter of giant cinnamon rolls.

Offer an omelet station. Guests can order an omelette custom made before their eyes. You'll need to find a chef who can make the omelet performance fast, but entertaining.

Choose a delicious brunch menu if you want to have a sit-down reception. Waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream, hickory smoked bacon and fresh squeezed juice is a simple, but elegant menu..

Skip heavy alcoholic drinks. They're just not appropriate for early in the day. Instead, offer champagne and fruit juices. For a budget-friendly but elegant drink, offer mimosas, a mixture of orange juice and champagne. You can also have bloody Mary's.

Have your morning wedding cake, and eat it, too. You can certainly have the traditional cake, but think about a lemon or carrot cake. Your cake will be different and delicious.
