Most of the weddings I've been to have been basically similar in concept, but the last one I went to a month ago had a very fun addition to their cocktail hour... they had a mashed potato bar! They were serving mashed potatos in a martini glass and they had all the toppings -gravy, sour cream, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, broccoli, etc/ It was delicious and so fun! EVERYONE was talking about it the next day.
Note: there were other things too, but this one really stood out!

A wedding in Las Vegas at the Excalibur's wedding chapel where the wedding party and all of the guests wore medieval clothes. The reception was the jousting show where you are served dinner that you eat with your hands from wooden plates. The food for a reception can be anything you like and ideally what you can afford. Inexpensive is sweets like cake and cookies with champagne and/or punch, coffee. This type of reception is usually done for during the afternoon . Moderately priced is serving a lot of appetizers this is probably better suited to a short reception . There are three types of service for a reception. Buffet with a couple of entrees, salads and vegetables, some tyoe of bread or rolls. You tend to spend more on food as people want some of each thing. Sit down you'll spend more on labor and also people change their minds about their food choices and drive the caterers nuts. Family style where guests serve themselves from platters brought to their table is the best of both worlds. As a caterer we've created a pasta bar with three types of pasta. Most people request your more typical chicken and beef. One cuban style wedding included such pretty diverse elements as avocado mousse and bananas.

The only wedding I've been to that has been different, the bride & groom "jump the broom". I have no idea what it means.
Here in the south, I believe the receptions following the wedding are pretty much the same. You have a 2-3 tier cake for the bride & groom, beautifully decorated (Publix) cakes are awesome. Then you have a "groom's" cake. This one is pretty much whatever flavor he likes and decorated to suit him. Let's see, punch, peanuts, possibly finger sandwiches. Another good one is cheese straws.
Now if you go bigger as far as serving "a meal", most people like chicken.

Our wedding was the least traditional wedding I have ever attended but we wanted it that way. I wore a blue cocktail dress, we travelled to the registry office together, we had an awesome BBQ reception party in a private garden. There is no "should" with weddings, there is no specific type of food that you should serve, just do what suits you best!

A wedding of a good friend. The bride and groom along with the guests played all sorts of weird games like if you lost a guess you put on a peace of clothing and the more little funny items of clothing you have on at the end of the game the more your chances of losing the prize (which were all sorts of edible goodies, etc). Musical chairs and people choosing people to act out or perform some silly task and if the person failed he/she lost. In short it was fun coz I love games!
PS. Food was great too. It was a buffet style dinner!

My fiance once went to the wedding of two friends who were models. It was more like a fashion show than a wedding. Each member of the bridal party wore a different high-fashion gown and did a catwalk-style entrance. The guestbook girl had a purple (or was it orange?) mohawk. It was, well, very different.
Many of the guests found it strange, but it suited the bride and groom and was exactly what they wanted.

All the weddings I had attended before mine had at least 100-300 people present. I opted for only the closest family and friends and had 14 in attendance. My Dad said it was great because of the intimacy.

No, but I know one. It was 3 couple's getting married at the same time, their were no foods after the ceremony, and no invitations people could just go in the church and just watch the ceremony. My parents went to that wedding. I have pictures, but their not saved in my computer.
Well bye.
