Prewedding lunch or Brunch for Bridesmaids/Bride?



What have you served for your bridesmaids for a lunch/brunch? Our ceremony is at four with cocktail hour starting at 5/5:15pm so I want to ensure that we have food out for everyone before hand. I wanted to keep it light/not heavy in terms of content but I didn't want anyone hungry or not being fed. I was going to have salad, sandwich trays from Jimmy Johns with a variety of choices (smaller ones so people can have as much or as little as they want) but from there I am stumped for what else to serve everyon. I will have mimosas and beverages available as well. I am open to alternate options just don't want them to feel like they are responsible for anything but showing up!

If this is a gathering for hair and make up application, and your BM's have an opportunity to sit, I might have a more substantial lunch if they are with you for several hours prior to the ceremony. If the gathering is for a shorter period of time, perhaps for picture taking, I might offer simpler finger foods that can be "grabbed". I would also probably make food choices that were less likely to spill and/or stain since everyone will be dressed.
I had sandwiches, drinks, fruit and some snack foods.
