For weddings, if both bride and groom are vegitarians, should they only serve vegitarian foods?

Answer 1

I think there should be vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes so that way everyone can eat what they like. There can be some vegetarian dishes for those that wish to have them and have like chicken for those that would like a little meat with their meal.

Answer 2

Depends. What kind of vegetarian are you? It is far easier for a meat-eater to find something to eat then the other way around.
It is quite distressing to attend a wedding only to find out there is nothing to eat but meat; not even a slice of cheese. (yes, I'm a vege) Or to be on a restricted diet (e.g. diabetic).

If this is something you feel very strongly about then serve GOOD-TASTING vegetarian dishes. Or eliminate the food and serve hors d'ourves & desserts.

Ps. It's funny to hear the answers you're getting. If you were deciding not to serve alcohol at your wedding, the advice would be that , "It's YOUR wedding".....I see no difference here.

Answer 3

If I were a vegetarian, and my groom was a vegetarian, I would probably serve only vegetarian foods. Most people will eat them with no problems. I might have a problem if you load up with mushrroms, but that is a personal thing.

However, if NONE of the guests were going to be vegetarian, I might have a token meat dish for them.

Answer 4

Since the Bride and Groom are both vegetarians it would be appropriate to offer vegetarian foods in addition to non-vegetarian. After all, a bride and groom want their wedding do to be memorable because of how the event reflects who they are and their personalities. However, you are inviting different people with different likes and needs. Best bet is to be prepared and offer foods that most guests would eat.

Answer 5

If you are vegetarians for moral, religious, and ethical reasons then you should only serve vegetarian foods so as to remain true to your beliefs. Inform your guest about this ahead of time so that they will be prepared. You don't have to make a big speech about your beliefs. You can just indicate what meals will be served at the event, which you would normally do anyway.

If your reasons for being a vegetarian are not based on moral, religious, or ethical reasons, then you might consider offering some non-vegetarian dishes in addition to your vegetarian foods.

Answer 6

Depends on the guest list. If they are all vegans, then no problem. I would think that they would want to accomodate their meat eating friends though. It's just one meal, maybe the guests don't care one way or the other. I wouldn't let the food being served keep me away from a friends wedding.

Answer 7

I would offer a meat option. Meat is more expensive than veggies and if you only offer a vegetarian option, people might write you off as cheap. Also, not everyone invited is likely a vegetarian. I would offer a meat option because you want your guests to be happy on your wedding day, not grumbling about the food options.

Answer 8

No, you should serve food for all your guest, you would fill bad if you were invited to a function and there was non thing for you to eat, especially if the host knows your vegetarian.

Answer 9

I think that's a bit rude_ it is the groom and brides day but why not serve a veg dish and a meat dish for those carnivores . There are usually 2-3 choices for meals anyhow

Answer 10

The spelling is vegetarian. And no, I don't think so. If the couple is inviting friends and family to a celebration of their union, they are the hosts. A host should think about what their guests would enjoy, not just what they would enjoy. If non-vegetarians are invited, offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is the polite thing to do.
