Hey guys, just wanted to hear some ideas on how to handle a friend's

wedding invitation. My choices are not steak or fish, of course I want neither.

I don't care if I just get some veggies or whatever would be on the side of

the meat, but how do I request that on my rsvp card when there's no space

for any other option? I want to make sure that they don't cook one for me,

I don't just want to have it served to me and not eat it. Help!?!

Write on it " requesting a vegetarian plate " and sent it back.Be sure to have a

big snack before you go though.

It works every time for me.

I'm interested to hear what other people have to say, because I'm not 100%

sure what I would do. Depends on who the friend is. If it was someone I'm

not particularly close to, I would write on the RSVP card something

about " not able to attend dinner but will be at reception later " -- and then

just come later, when you're sure they'll be done with dinner, or leave

early, or whatever... If it was a good friend, I would call them and say

hey, don't bother to order meat for me, but I'll eat the vegetable and

potato side dishes, and of course I want CAKE! But I would be worried that

they would feel obligated to order another entree for me, and I wouldn't

want anybody to do that.

 

That's a tough one. This is why buffets are so much better! (provided, of

course, that there are no hidden ingredients in buffet items...)

I wouldn't ask for the side things, just tell them you are a

vegetarian and can't eat either choice. I bet you won't be the only

one who doesn't want either for various reasons. Caterers can handle this.

I would simply call my friend, explain the dilemma, and ask what they would

prefer you do. I would guess " write something in " and they'll recall your

phone conversation when they see the card.

My husband and I have called the place where the dinner is being held and

requested a vegetarian entree. They've always been very agreeable.

Recently, I have noticed most selections include " vegetarian " ...and they serve

you a vegetarian plate. I would add it on the reply...especially OK if it is

being catered. They are getting used to this.
