6-9 months : select menu if guests will need to indicate their entrée selection on the response card
2 weeks : provide head count to caterer
expert advice
Michael Kazes, owner of the Executive Event Center and AA Executive Catering concurs, "If a bride can get an all inclusive price for everything such as food, bar, staffing, china and linens, she'll have an easier time comparing prices between potential caterers."
"While planning the fabulous foods for your wedding day, take care to include all your guest's dietary needs. More importantly, weather your taste is traditional or exotic, take care to design and present a menu that reflects you and is an extension of your vision and taste. Your guests will appreciate your attention to the details and will enjoy an exceptional meal with them in mind." - Teresa Palmer from Acme Fresh Market
Catering.
"Ask your caterer if they can customize a menu around your tastes and or budget. You don't necessarily have to commit to their menu options," says Bob Pacanovsky of Robert J. Events & Catering. "For example, you might have a favorite family entree that can be incorporated into your wedding menu or a particular theme menu like an Oriental or a French theme."
