So my venue has a plated option for 28.00. I just found the buffet is 29.95 with the same food plus a steak option. I can't decide what I should do ...input ladies?

Hmm... I think I'd just do the buffet for $2 more. But I think it just depends on what you want at your reception. HTH

ravj2001 · February 2010

My FI thinks the same...I think that it will give people more options...You know how "WE" tend to not want to try new things...ESPECIALLY if it's not deep fried..LMAO

I wanted to to do a buffet but I'm having older people with limited mobility and some people don't want to serve them selves (LOL) so I stuck with the plated dinner. I say if there won't be a problem, go for the buffet.

LOL! You right about it! We want fried everything! Here in TX, at the rodeo, we do have fried everything.... But I think it gives more options AND more food altogether. You know how "WE" don't know how to eat one plate and be full.

ravj2001 · February 2010

I think that's what we will be going with...It just seems like more food...

ravj2001 · February 2010

exactly IF ONE MO person asks me if we are having fried chicken..IM LIKE NO THAT is super HOOD...I couldn't even see serving fried chicken overlooking the lake..JUST UGH...

tyboyd · February 2010

LOL @ the HOOD fried chicken on the lake! DANG, can they at least say baked chicken or something! Fried ain't the only way to cook it.

ravj2001 · February 2010

Girl we are having Coy Au Vin, and I just crack up everytime I tell someone..they are like WTF is that? lmao

tyboyd · February 2010

Well, I just googled it! LOL! Don't judge me! Whatever it is, as much as I like to eat, I'd tear it up! LOL!!!

ravj2001 · February 2010

LMAO...I haven't had my tasting yet, but it's supposed to be one of there most popular dishes...It looks good though...lol

tyboyd · February 2010

Whew, I don't feel bad for never having it! I hope it's delish! Tell me all about it!

ravj2001 · February 2010

Mos def...lol....Hell I felt bad for not knowing how to pronounce it...lol

ladylum · February 2010

Coq au vin is chicken with wine (I think). I have had it and it's very good. OK I'm not super hood or anything but yes I am having fried chicken because everyone will look at me crazy if I don't. I say go with buffet option because people like steak and there are more options.

ravj2001 · February 2010

yep you are right...It's chicken braised in red wine...(i think)..I don't consider chicken hood..I think it's all about the location...you know...We did decide on it...because now there are more options if for some reasons you don't like the Coy Au Vin...

Tameric · February 2010

Lol! You know WE are bad when Ladylum has to fried chicken! My hubby wanted to have wing dings- talking about he ain't never been to a wedding without them. I told him that was so unfortunate, but I WILL NOT have people sucking grease off their fingers just shake my hand. Or better yet, don't and I'll just walk around with chicken grease on my back!!! LOL. I wanted Italian. In the end we compromised and got rotisserie chicken

ravj2001 · February 2010

Hilarious...I'm not exactly sure why this cracked me up, but I needed this laugh today. Maybe it's because I'm just waiting on my fi to mention the fried chicken drummettes...or lack thereof.

Rhoyal_1 · February 2010

LMAO! All this fried chicken talk makes me want to invest in handi wipes cause y'all are going to need them!! Maybe I should sell them and personalize the containers to match wedding colors!!! Anywho, I say go for the option that fits the type of wedding style you are after. Hey, whatever works....and BTW, I asked FI about friend chicken for the reception and he gave me the grizzly!! LMAO...nope, we are not even thinking about fried chicken for the reception..all those greasy faces...nails with breading and stuff under them..people "cleaning" the bones!!
