What types of food should i serve at a rehearsal dinner?

Organizing a rehearsal dinner is a great way to commemorate the impending nuptials of a happy couple. Creating the right menu for the guests and the soon-to-be newlyweds is an important part of making sure that the night is perfect. When it comes to the question of what types of food to serve at a rehearsal dinner, there are many options that go beyond traditional sit-down meals. Here are some ideas to consider when planning your wedding celebration's meal.

Finger Foods - A great way to serve food at a rehearsal dinner is through offering finger foods or appetizers. This can be anything from cheese and crackers to skewered shrimp and vegetables, or even sandwiches cut into bite size pieces. Finger foods allows your guests to mingle easily rather than sitting down for an entire meal, making it a great choice for informal events especially if you're having it in someone's home or in a smaller venue with limited seating options.

Buffet - Serving buffet style can be another fun way for people to enjoy their meals at the rehearsal dinner. Create stations that include different dishes - like salads, entrees, and dessert - then let your guests choose what they would like on their plate. Additionally, serving buffet allows your guests more freedom with what they eat and how much they have as well as having more control over their portion size compared to sit down meals where they may be served too much food on their plates.

Barbecue - Who doesn't love good ol' barbecue? Perfectly cooked steaks and burgers accompanied with potatoes, sides, corn on the cob and all other possible accompaniments create an atmosphere of fun and makes sure everyone gets enough fuel for joyous dancing later on in the night!
