Ok, so quick rundown of what we are having. Salad (of course), beans, pulled chicken and pulled pork sliders, and a pasta bar. Heres my question, should I have garlic bread with the pasta bar even though we are having little buns for the sliders??

    This sounds like an awesome menu but very carb-heavy. Garlic bread is nice but unnecessary. I'd instead include more veggies. I have a bunch of people coming to my wedding who don't eat carbs and they'd have a rough time.

    ETA: some for dietary preference others because FI's family has a lot of diabetics.

    Well we r having salad, and beans. As far as why we r having pasta... my 2 year pretty much only eats pasta. I know I am not going to get her to eat pulled pork or chicken. And potatoes she only likes instant sometimes (shes crazy!!) I am not feeding my guests instant mashed potatoes. Haha

    We r not having a ton of people at our wedding, mostly friends since none of the out of towners are coming. Well 1 aunt said yes but we will see if she really does come or not. so I know everyone will love what we have.

    I'd still consider beans to be a starch (I'm assuming baked beans?).

    A salad is good but I'd also suggest something like green beans or even a coleslaw by all of the bbq.

    sounds good to me.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I say yes to garlic bread only because I LOVE garlic bread. And would probably build my sandwich of pulled chicken on the garlic bread instead of buns.

    Some minted fruit salad could be a colorful and light addition.

    Not sure if this applies to any of your guests, but anyone with gluten sensitivities would only be able to eat the salad, beans, and maybe the mashed potatoes (assuming they are GF).

    I'd get vegetarian baked beans (not flavored with meat) and make an interesting and flavorful salad by adding other than the usual lettuce, tomato and cucumber combo.  See http://betterhousekeeper.com/2014/06/02/refreshing-watermelon-summer-salad/

    Don't need the extra bread, but breadsticks are nice and maybe some flatbread-type crackers.

    yeah, most of the people invited are not salad people anyways. really its for a few people that will eat it, my dad, my brother, and my moms vegan friend. its really just gonna be a regular salad. my dad doesnt like different or fancy stuff.
