Is A Family Style Wedding Meal Right For Your Wedding?

 When it comes to serving your wedding dinner there are a handful of options to consider. From what will be served to how it is served there's so much to think about. One popular way to serve your wedding meal is a family style. This is exactly what you would picture having a dinner at home. The food is served in the middle of the tables and guests are able to choose what they would like and how much of it. Almost like a buffet but at the table. 

This style of meal serving is great for many reasons but it doesn't always align with every couple. Today we will help you decide if it's the one for your wedding. 

There is efficiency when it comes to serving your meal in this manner. It allows for everyone to eat at the same time. Something that is not true when it comes to individually plated meals or even a lined up buffet that can have long lines. Guests are able to serve themselves right when the food is placed at the table. 

Family style dinning is also great if you are having a smaller wedding. The seating for this is typically all the guests in a long table. Instead of different tables everyone is together in one. It is perfect for a cozy and intimate meal. Guests are able to get to know each other and conversations can get to flowing. 

There is no need to preselect your meal when it comes to family style dinning. Eliminating meal cards will save you time and money. Not to mention the pressure to keeping track of what the guests chose and if they did make a choice. 

A negative that can be said about this is that the food can take a lot of space on the tables. That means you might have to keep the decoration to a minimum. If this is something that you can get passed then you should definitely go with a family style meal.
