Wedding Reception Menu Planning: Creating A Children’s Food Station
By: Kathi Dameron
Don’t forget the children! When you begin planning the menu for your wedding reception, you will want to consider what food you will provide for the children that will be in attendance at your wedding reception. Don’t be surprised if you discover some moms and dads eating from the same station as their children! Many adults would eat pizza any day over fancy wedding food.
The creation of a children’s food station is very easy. You can begin planning for this station by simply asking a family member or friend to help you coordinate the details for this station.
1. Tally up the number of children that will be at your reception. List their ages.
2. Ask the parents what their children like to eat.
3. Create a children’s menu. Here are some popular children friendly foods:
Chicken Tenders or Fingers
Cheese Pizza
Pepperoni Pizza
Cheese Quesadillas
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches
Happy Meals From McDonalds
A Children’s Salad Bar
A Children’s Stuffed Spud Bar
Vegetable Crisps
Fruit Cocktail Cups
4. Create a design for the station that compliments the overall look of the reception, yet clearly identifies the station as a children’s food station.
5. Buy more than you need! I guarantee you that your young and old guests will inhale those pieces of pizza!
6. Include a children’s favor… perhaps a wedding themed coloring book with a small box of crayons.
