Hey ladies!
I''m just curious...I''ve noticed from personal experience that many people don''t include specific vegetarian or vegan options (or at least not listed on RSVP cards) for their guests at the reception. I''m sure most of the time this isn''t a big deal because of knowledge of guests’ preferences or the regional area/customs. That being said, I have many friends with specific preferences that I would like to respect. I am planning on having a good vegetarian option as one of the main choices, but I would like to hear some real-life experiences about dealing with these kinds of concerns while maintaining the integrity of the wedding as one’s own.
I am just wondering how you handled, or might handle, it if you had guests with specific preferences or had specific requirements (like perhaps a gluten or nut allergy)? Do you find that guests usually just write something in on the RSVP card if the options are "Chicken or Fish" and they eat neither? Is this the appropriate action on the part of the guest? What is the appropriate response on the part of the hosts?
I''m curious about some real experiences out there, so if you have experienced anything along these lines I’d like to hear it.
Thanks!
