I am having a hard time deciding between a split plate option and giving guests a choice for dinner. We have decided on beef tenderloin and crabcakes, and my fiance and I really like the idea of serving smaller portions of both (generally, when we go to weddings, we each order one option and share anyways). This way, guests don't have to chose what they want and get to taste both. That also solves the problem of asking what guests want when they RSVP, and the logistical work of assigning meals to guests based on seating. My mom, however, thinks that that will cause food to be wasted, because she thinks that not everyone will like both options.
Any pros and cons for either option?
