    I'm having a casual wedding and I didn't want typical food that's served at weddings, especially since my fiance's brother just got married and served roasted chicken or filet mignon. So I would like to mix it up a bit and serve something like these options

    Is this too "cheap" seeming? Also, do you think the wings would be an unpopular decision?

     

    I think it's an adorable idea but a few around me have expressed complaints....

    I love the burgers but I do think the wings are a little messy for a wedding. Maybe breaded chicken tenders with sauce on the side or something....

    I love the gourmet burgers but I think the wings might be a little messy for a wedding... Although I do love me some wings :). Maybe consider another type of sandwich you could jazz up (chicken breast marinated, crab cake buns)? Sauceless wings would be ok but there's still bones everywhere you know?

    I love it! My brother is doing something similar for his wedding..They are setting up stations of "make you own" kind of deal. One station is a personal pizza. I think you can make it classy and wedding:)

    I really like the idea but I feel like the majority will feel like everybody else. I just dont want to be stuck in the lines of a traditional wedding. I really want to keep the gourmet burgers theme but now I dont know of another option to go along with it. :/

    Why not keep the burgers theme, add patty options for those who don't like beef (like turkey or chicken patties and a veggie burger) and then offer all the toppings for them all? Everyone should be content then!

    For our late night snack we are doing a burger bar and a French fry Buffett. The burger bar has the option of beef patties, pulled pork, braised short ribs and friend chicken plus a top of toppings. The French fry Buffett has different kinds of fries with all different toppings... Maybe something like that?

    Yeah, that's a good idea to consider about just having different types of burgers for people to choose from. I'll have to see. I'm also really liking the different fry options s well.

    Thanks guys! : )

     

    (though you have to admit the wings in that picture look amazingg!)

    Those all look so tasty!  If you were to do a 'dry rub' on the wings they'd be less messy, just serve with a dipping sauce on the side.

    Well I think this all looks great. Messy food won't really be a problem at a casual wedding.

    I think these are great ideas!! Remember, its YOUR celebration. I think you should do whatever you want at YOUR celebration. Others are there only as your guest and to be happy for you two. If people make a stink on what you do for your wedding, and your money being spent on it, just ignore them. You can tell them, they could do it for  their own wedding.
