Too Much Food?? + Menu AW
Also, I am a little worried this might be too much food and would love some feedback. We still have 2 weeks before rsvps are due but are anticipating 100-120 guests. I love our selection, but also don't want guests to be full before dinner and not get to enjoy the rest! Also, let me know if you think there isn't enough variety or options for people who may have different food preferences.

Re: Too Much Food?? + Menu AW
As someone who doesn't eat meat or seafood, I'd definitely be hungry leading up to dinner, since the fruit/cheese and hummus aren't filling and the passed appetizers are predominantly meat or seafood. Weddings I attend usually have pasta stations, mashed potato bar, focaccia/bread/garlic knot display, etc., although i think the majority of guests would be happy with your apps.
The salad looks delicious, great variety in entrees and I love weddings with late-night pizza! And absolute cupcake heaven! Enjoy!
Honestly between the cheese plate, dips/pita/crudite and bruschetta the 3 vegetarians should be fine until dinner. No need to fill people up completely when there is still a 3 course meal AND pizza coming later.
Dangit, now I want brandy peppercorn benedicts for breakfast but I'm feeling too lazy to get up and make it.
