Brunch on the Day Of?

I'm so sorry I have so many questions! We're 31 days away and every day keeps bringing up new things to worry about

Okay, on the day of (for evening ceremony brides, I guess) did you bring in food or brunch for your bridesmaids and anyone getting ready with you?

I just figured out with my makeup artist that we'll probably need to start getting ready at 10am, and I want to make sure my bridesmaids, mom, MOG and flower girls are all fed and happy. Did anyone do anything like this or have suggestions?

My first idea was bagels and a whole fruit spread but there are two gluten-free friends and family members involved.

That would be so easy! I don't want to make whoever goes on the run make two different stops for gluten free foods and bagels, so I wonder if it would be okay to get a deli platter spread of meats and have regular & gluten free breads? But then again, I don't think my bridesmaids or my mother will be into eating sandwiches as they get ready.

I don't drink coffee - should I get a box of joe or something from Dunkin for everyone? It's an 8pm ceremony so it'll be a long day!

I was just thinking about this! I'm leaning towards getting catered wraps and sandwiches and salads. So basically, more money I don't have.....

Seriously…so much money…but I'm thinking it would be worth it to make everyone happy so that when I tell them I want some pictures outside at night they don't kill me haha

We won't have 30 people though :( Even if we include our siblings and parents we're still way outside the minimum. But it looks really good so maybe it can help out another bride who is looking!

I definitely agree - bagels would be easiest and also the most delicious but we'll need some kind of deli spread to keep everyone happy and not feeling sick.

I'm likely going to use Ivarone......I go to the one in Queens, but they have others in Nassau. They have their menu online: http://www.ibfoods.com/resources/catering-brochure/

My family has used them since the beginning of time and I've never had anything bad. They're relatively reasonable, too.

I had to get ready early in the morning and we did bagels, muffins, cookies, brownies. You def could do bagels and have a cold cut spread, o tuna fish, chicken or egg salad and what not. Keep it simple. As long as you have some food in your system when you're having those drinks to calm your nerves you will be good.

I think in the morning I am dragging a few of my BM to toast in Huntington so we can have some fun girly time and chow down. I think everyone else fox has a breakfast buffet in the morning or my dad will get bagels.
