    Yep.  How would you like to go to a wedding and not be able to eat anything?

    Yes.  I spoke with my caterer about a few of my vegetarian guests and he made sure there was a vegetarian option for them.

    What else are you serving? Like, if it's buffet and there will be a lot of other vegetarian options, that's cool. If it's plated, you need to have something they can eat.

    it's neither buffet or plated really - it's an authentic lobster bake (lobster, clams, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob).  and we will have hors d'oeuvres too.

    so if i  have a vegetarian option for them should some other option for the guest who may not like lobster or seafood?  i mean, everyone going will know it's a lobster bake so i would hope they would know what that meant in the way of what food is being served.

    I'd have options, this just isn't a vegetarian issue but an allergy issue.  Shellfish allergies are common.

    I definately agree with all PP. We only have one vegan and we're offering something to her and having vegan at our rehersal dinner. Its rude not too!

    The nice thing about having a veg alternative is that is can work as the menu alternative for any of the following people.

    Some Reasons Other Than Vegetarianism Why Someone Might Not Want to Partake in an Awesome Lobsterbake:
    1: they have shellfish allergies
    2. they keep kosher
    3. they're from the midwest, have never seen a whole lobster before, and have no idea how to eat one
    4. they just don't like seafood

    I know, that last one seems ridiculous, but those people do actually exist, and if you like one of them enough to invite them to your wedding, it might be nice to give them something to eat that they won't totally hate.

    Absolutely have a different option.  Lots of people do not eat lobster.  I think any function should have at least two options because not everyone is going to like the same food.

    I agree - you should have an alternative.  I think it's rude not to feed your guests - especially since they are probably bringing you a gift and taking time out of their day. It's just gracious to make sure they're taking care of without them even having to ask. Trust me, they will be grateful!
