Kiwi is my bird-o asked:


Me an my fiance are getting married October 10th this year. We are having our ceremony and reception at this beautiful lake that has a veranda with tables and around 20 BBQ grills. We are only having 30 guests (all family save my best friend and her husband), and since our mom’s are making 2 big parts in our wedding (my mom is making my dress, his mom is making our cake) other family members want to join in and be part. Since we are already planning on a relaxed BBQ over formal catering, we told the other guests who wanted to help they could bring dishes. We didn’t think of the fact they would ask what to bring. The main course is burgers/veggie burgers, and we are supplying all the makings for these. What other foods would be appropriate for a casual outdoor fall wedding? We tried to think of some BBQ-type side dishes and could only come up with potato salad. We certainly don’t want 10 different people bringing potato salad lol. We are also going to test the idea of my butternut squash croquette recipe (pre-made of course) being re-heated on a grill this summer (not sure if this will work, but we’re going to find out since it is both of our favorite dish). Any other suggestions of what they can bring? We’re at a total loss.

O, as a note, over half of the guests, including me and my fiance, are vegetarian. Nearly everyone eats only organic, so we wouldn’t want someone to bring something like Jello, only to find only 3 or 4 people will actually eat it. And meat side dishes are fine, 11 people will eat them, but we would prefer mostly vegetarian so everyone can enjoy.
