Hi Ladies! I need an opinion as to whether or not I'm being crazy and overthinking this. Our venue includes a plated dessert as part of the price (ex: cheesecake, creme brulee, etc.) OR a $10pp credit towards a dessert display (ex: ice cream sundae bar, chocolate fountain, etc). However, we want to serve wedding cake, so I think having a piece of cake and then another plated dessert seems silly. The problem with the dessert displays is that they cost $20-$25pp, so even with the $10pp credit, we'd still need to pay $10-15pp which I think is ridiculous.
Now here's the catch. I asked if we could trade the $10pp towards an appetizer station, since I'm concerned about the amount of food at the cocktail hour. They told me no. I don't see what the difference is if we use the credit towards dessert or appetizers. It's making me kind of mad! I don't want to lose the credit. Should I just give up and have wedding cake and another plated dessert?
