     Should we offer one or two meal choices for reception  

Hello

My future wife and I just had a major blowout about whether there should be one or two meal cghoice for our wedding reception. I think there should be a choice of 2 and she feels we should only offer 1. She has been to 7 weddings and claims that none of them gave a choice of meals and I have been to about 25 and all but 1 of them offered a choice and the 1 that did not was an outside buffet style. Please advise me on which should be offered as proper etiquette. We are very angry with each other (and she is extremely stubborn) at the moment. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Michael

Dear Michael,

Please remember that this is a test of how you two will be able to live together. If you are arguing over meal choices, this is not a great sign. You two will have many more real life choices in the future and you will need to develop excellent communication skills.

As a good host we would always want to consider our guest's comfort. So, it is best to have more than one meal choice because not all of your guests will eat meat or certain types of foods.

Best wishes,
