Morning Of/Getting Ready Food

I need to figure out what to feed my girls.
What is everyone serving?

I figured to get mini muffins, croissants, and fruit.
Juices and coffee.
I am debating getting bagels? Will the bagels be too heavy. Wraps?

We are starting to get ready around 8am , leaving my place at 1pm, and getting to the hall around 4. Cocktail hour starts at 6pm.

I'm probably going to have fruit, mini muffins, cheese, juice, tea/coffee (will def need that)! And if I have bagels, they will be cut into fours (bite size) so ppl won't eat too much - my friend did that & I did it for my sisters wedding - it wasn't too heavy

We had turkey wraps/croissants-I took the turkey off and just rolled it up and ate that. I recommend something with protein!!!

I think they are going to need something significant to eat if you are leaving your house at 1 and then they are not eating again till 6pm. I would suggest either bagels or wraps!

Of the two weddings I've been in, one was bagels and coffee (father of the bride did a breakfast run and brought it to the salon while we were getting our hair and makeup done)and the other she had a platter of wraps at the house to pick on. And call me fat but I dont think a (whole) bagel is heavy at all! lol If you are getting up early for hair & makeup, you wont be eating again until cocktail hour which is usually around dinner time if it's a night wedding. I wouldnt worry about it too much or ask your girls what they prefer.

Thanks ladies.
I plan on eatting, but really drinking after a certain time.
I think I might buy some sliced turkey and they can make sandwiches on the bagels/croissants or eat it plain.

I also need to buy for the guys since they are getting ready at his brothers house and I don't want extra work for his wife

Last summer my SIL got us egg sandwiches from a bagel place and it was perfect to keep us going. I was worried when I ate it that it would be too much but it worked well. It might not be cost effective if you have a lot of people, she only had three bridesmaids, but it was filling enough to keep us going until cocktail hour.

For my sister's wedding, mom and I went to Costco and bought croissants, fruit, OJ & Champagne for mimoasas, and then she just got some wraps, pretzles, and sodas to put out for lunch- Then we just went into my town to pick up mini bagels, butter, and CC from the bagel store & my mom made coffee- That should be more than enough food... We were gonna make eggs that morning rather than get bagels, but it is so much of an easier clean-up

Re: Morning Of/Getting Ready Food

At my friend's wedding everyone ate a very light breakfast you know women always watching their weight.. but halfway through pictures everyone was starving and were passing around bags of chips and pretzels LOL so I would say go for the bagels! maybe cut them in half so half of a bagel and a piece of fruit could be a good breaktfast.

We are doing croissants, mixed fruit, and different drinks (alcoholic and non). My mom and I might bake different breads (cranberry nut bread, pound cake, banana bread, etc) too, since we are doing that for the OOT bags.

I agree! They will need to eat something if they are waking up early and not eating until 6pm!

What about something early - coffee, juice, fruits, yogurt
then mini wraps or something for before you guys leave

Also had apps delivered to fh bc I knew the boys would drink so I wanted them to at least have something in their bellies. Once we got to east wind, we then had mini pizzas and chicken fingers to hold over until cocktail hour.
