We're having an informal summertime wedding. We decided that we'd like to do sort of a cafe feel with a buffet menu of the casual kinds of comfort foods we love at our local cafes -- salads, sandwiches, but with more hearty stuff like chili and mac and cheese instead of soup (because sloshy soups are a pain in the ass). It feels right for our crowd and the level of formality (or lack thereof, I guess) of our wedding.
A couple of details we're stuck on:
1. If there is plenty (amount and variety) of salads, bread, sandwiches, and heartier soup-like dishes, should we also do some other sides like potato and/or pasta salads or veggie dishes? Or is the soup/salad/sandwich type menu enough as long as we have a large enough quantity of everything?
2. Should we have more than two soup-type options? For some (probably arbitrary) reason I feel like maybe we should figure out one more. Three is the magic number or something like that, right? Or am I just overthinking?
