We are having a food truck cater the dinner that does gourmet sandwiches – each guest can pick whatever they want from the four sandwich and two side (starch & vegetable) options that we’ll have available at the truck.  Saves us the hassle of having people RSVP with meal choices, plus the food is delicious and there are options for all eaters (vegan, lactose intolerant, etc.)

Dinner is a buffet: 

Salmon with cucumber dill sauce

Flank steak with basil butter sauce

Red mashed potatoes

Grilled summer vegetables 

Spinach salad w/strawberries, pecans, and champagne vinaigrette

Bread/butter

And cocktail hour apps and a bunch of stuff for dessert because I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. Donuts, cake pops, cake bars, candy, etc.

Such a fun topic idea, here is mine:

We will have a baby spinach salad with goat cheese, cranberries, bacon, and a apple balsamic vinaigrette.

And then a choice of the following served with starch and veggie:

Filet mignon and scallops

Lamb Chops (FI choice)

Maple Glaxed Salmon

Apple walnut stuffed chicken

Then a pink champagne cake with a seedless raspberry filling

Can’t wait!

All of your menus sound delicious!! My reception will feature foods from his culture and mine. His mom and aunts are providing traditional kenyan foods like chipatis, nyama choma (goat), samosas, etc. (He is half Kenyan – half Nigerian) and my aunt, uncle and mom are helping provide austrian cuisine (My dads is Austrian)like bratwurst with kraut, spaetzle, and a german potato salad. Dinner will be buffet style. We will also serve simple appetizers during the cocktail hour that are still being determined. It will all be finished off with a lovely cheesecake. YUM!
