Time to eat!!!

So I thought it would be best to post on this board since it's focused on the reception. My reception is 5 hours long including an hour for cocktails. The food will be served family style and there is salad, pasta, entrees, and desserts. My FI thinks that the salad is pointless and that we should give our guest 90 minutes to eat and then additional time for the dessert.

 Is anyone having a reception that will last 5 hours or less? If so, how long are you giving your guest to eat?

TIA!

  • i dont see what advantage there would be by leaving out the salad. it's not like it takes 2 hours to eat a plate of salad. serve it.

     

  • Our reception is 5 hours. The cocktail hour is from 5-6 (while we get pictures taken) and then 6-7 is dinner. Then 7-12 drinking and dancing! I think you should include the salad!
