Outdoor Weddings

Did anyone have shrimp cocktail during their outdoor wedding?

I was just thinking about this, I am having an outdoor wedding on June 16th and it just dawned on me I am having shrimp cocktail during my cocktail hour....well what if its a really hot day do you think the shrimp will be ok? Or should I skip it?
I am also having an anti pasta, veggie and dip and cheese an crackers as well?

Oh just a background this is a casual backyard wedding...so do you think shrimp or no shrimp?

  • It's fine to have foods like that, but they should be out of the sun (under a tent or such) and should have a plate of ice under them. So the cheese, shrimp, antipasta, dip should definitely be on ice. I'd aim to keep everything out of the fridge for no more than 2 hours total including prep.

  • I am also having a casual backyard wedding (July 7, 2012). We are having shrimp cocktail also. I think it will be fine as long as it is not in the sun.
