Unique Wedding Food

So a big way to say thank you to your guests for coming to your wedding is to provide them with a great dinner but most wedding banquet food is the same. It usually consists of a chicken or beef with a potato side dish and a veggie. Want to give your guests something to talk about when it comes to your wedding day food, check out these great unique food options:

Travel Around the World Food Stations:

Set up your wedding reception room withe numerous food stations. Each station represents a certain county with ethnic food from the area. Here a a few great stations: a pasta station to represent Italy, chicken skewers and fried rice to represent Japan, and meatball loaf with martini mashed potato bar to represent USA.

Our Favorite Foods Menu:

Choose a wedding menu based around your favorite foods. Make sure to include a menu card on your guest table telling your guests why you picked the food you did.

Upscale Home-Cooking County Buffet:

Make comfort foods look glamorous and yummy by adding intricate details to your home-cooking county buffet. Instead of just having fried chicken have your caterer make mini fired chicken on a stick with 3 dipping sauces. Have your caterer make mac and cheese on a stick, mini meatloaf in a red wine tomato sauce, and a mashed potato bar where your guests can add the toppings they want.

Wedding Advice

As always, I was searching the internet for new wedding ideas and came across some great words of wisdom for newlyweds to live by:

*Always try to outdo each other in kindess, that way you will never lose site of the positive
things in your relationship.

* Never go to bed angry, even if you are not happy with the conditions."

* It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

* Always believe in the importance of love, for it is the strength and beauty that brings music
to our souls.

Last but not least and one of my favorites because it is so very true...

* Women: Do not expect your husband to change after marriage!

* Men: Do not expect your wife to not change!

Sweet Thank You

One of our favorite July brides wrote me the most amazing thank you note I have ever read. Therefore, I just had to share it with all of you:

Jenna,

I just want to say thank you, for everything that you have done for me, my wedding, and even beyond that. You have made such an impact on our lives, especially my mom. She doesn't see you as our wedding planner, she sees you as her friend. You have no idea what a relief that is to me because she is my very best friend and I'm 3,000 miles away, so knowing that there's you if she ever needs to call means a lot. You are a very special person with a beautiful spirit and heart and you have touched each of us with that. I could never be grateful enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being more so much more than just our wedding planner!

XOXO,

Amanda
