    So I am having an afternoon wedding reception (starts at 12:30 pm).  The reception is buffet style. 

    My dilemma:  I don't know how much food is expected at a lunch reception compared to a dinner (night) reception.   My current lunch menu is as followed.  Is the list (1) too heavy/much for a lunch (2) just right or (3) add more food.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Menu

    shrimp & grits
    redfish beignets

    finger sandwiches or ceasar salad

    baked chicken breast with spinach & corn
    herb roasted turkey station with rolls and assorted spreads
    honey roasted pork loin with rolls & assorted spreads
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Is there any menu items that you would change?  Thanks :-)

    Whenever I attend any event, no matter the time, I usually plan for it to be my heaviest meal of the day. If I was going to your wedding I would plan to eat a decent breakfast and a very light dinner because I would expect I would be eating a heavier lunch than normal.

    I think your menu sounds yummy!

    I think your menu sounds great. It has just enough food that would last everyone till dinner (my opinion) :). Nice work!! >.<
