That sounds pretty good - I love panzanella. The only thing I might add is a pasta option or something for the vegetarians (unless you know that there won't be any).
Thank you bmore. There will only be one vegetarian, and she isn't a true vegetarian, so I should be okay.
I'd add another vegetable - i think of salad separate from dinner, and a lot of people don't really eat beans. Not me, I love them, but if you had another healthy veg option i think that'd be good.
Thank you Melissabegins. It is a very small wedding, 50 guests; just family, and they all like beans. I don't generally like beans at all, but these were really good.
That sounds like a lot of food! If you want to add something else, def go with another vegetable, that might be the only thing it's missing :)
Mmmmmm, yum, you had me at "french bread with garlic butter!" I think it sounds delish although maybe another veggie might be nice (maybe corn on the cob? green beans?) Overall tho, I would be an EXTREMELY happy guest at your wedding...
Being a vegetarian myself, I have on occasion eaten fish when there was no other option, and I actually had to stop because people didn't think I was really a "vegetarian"...so I would say, if you would like to be extra kind to the one person who you know is a vegetarian, to add a special meal option just for her. Because even if you don't think she's a real vegetarian, she would probably prefer a vegetarian option rather than try to pick out something to eat just because there aren't any options and people don't think she really is.
Thank you ladies.
@Melissabegins: If you are in the neighborhood, I am sure we can work something out :-)
This particular venue, www.mamastortinis.com, does have free tastings. They serve normal portion sizes for everything. We were truly amazed. They even brought us additional items to taste that we hadn't gone over in the phone consult. We just asked, and they brought them out.
@andreaandchinelo: We did think of that, but she is family, and I have seen her eat at her place, where she has more of a choice, and also when we go at, and she has a choice. I think she just says she is a vegetarian because she thinks it sounds good.
Thank you brittanymichelle.
We wanted something that was kinda down home and not like other weddings.
I think it's sufficient and sounds delicious! (Wish I was going to be a guest at your wedding! - I love cornish hen!) Your guests will definitely be full :)
How formal is your wedding? Baby back ribs are kinda messy to eat if people are going to be dressed up.
I'd personally add another veggie.
Sounds good...except I'm a vegetarian...but us veggies know how to fill up on bread and salad. =) That salad sounds yum yummy!
Sounds declicious! But I add my voice to those saying another vegetable would be nice. I'd even ax the strawberries in it's favor since the other desert sounds so good. I think homemade cookies at a wedding is pretty fantastic.
Unless you're literally having a backyard BBQ type wedding, I'd leave out the baby back ribs and the baked beans (replace them with some other meat, and maybe a nice rice), as those are more "picnic" than wedding.
deja vu? :)
I'm not 100% sold on the BBQ Beans & ribs either though... they are messy! Make sure you have wetnaps & Tide-to-go pens in the event that someone gets sauce on your dress! I like the addition of strawberries & truffles!! Yummy!!
Thank you everyone for stopping by and for your comments. The reception is 99% family and will be semiformal. I did think of the messiness of the ribs, but I love them, so we are going to have them.
We only have one semivegitarian, and I have gone over the menu with her, and she loves it.
I will make sure to have wetnaps and Tide-to-go pens available. The wetnaps will be on the table and the Tide-to-go pens will be in the bathrom baskets :-)
I think that menu sounds good - like another poster said, you had me at fresh bread and garlic butter! ;-)
I think the salad is good because it has so many veggie toppings, so if someone wants to eat lighter, or have more veggies, the salad would be more filling than just a plain salad would be. Looks good!

Thank you gabrielleelise. That is what I was thinking too. Some days, I just eat a really good salad and a peice of bread for dinner, and I am stufffed.
Love the menu. I haven't ever had cornish hen, but everything else sounds delish! I too would suggest you consider adding another veggie. Unless you are having appetizers, then you probably won't need it.
I agree with some other posters, I was sold at bread with garlic butter :) I dont like beans but I would just get some extra potatoes :)

for a buffet?
French Bread w/garlic butter
Panzanella Salad - this has romaine lettuce, olives, tomatoes, onion, pepperchinis(sp), artichoke hearts, and a couple other things I can't remember. It will have balsamic dressing. It is a very pretty salad. Most of our guests will love everything in it. I will be picking out 99% of it and giving it to my FI.
Roasted Cornish Hens
Baby Back Ribs
Roasted Potatoes
BBQ Beans
Sliced Fresh Fruit - watermelon, honeydew, cantelope, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries
White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Dipped Strawberries & Housemade Truffles
For desert we will also be having our cake and homemade by me chocolate chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies with the homemade vanilla favors.
The portions for these are quite large. When we did our tasting, we ended up bringing home enough leftovers to have for dinner.
