Simple Tips To Make Kid's Wedding Menu Easier
If you wish to invite children to your wedding, do so. However, it's probably a good idea to also come up with a kid-friendly menu to please their palates. By having kid's wedding menu, everyone can enjoy the moment without worrying over the kid's dietary sensitives.
But first, think again if you believe that the only options available for children at weddings are chicken fingers and small pizzas. Kids today really prefer interesting meals in everyday life, so they are very happy with most of the dishes on your elegant wedding menu. You may create a kid-friendly wedding meal that will transform your youngest guests into the happiest foodies with the help of these 3 tips!
1. Presentation Is All That Matters
As you may remember from your own childhood, most kids enjoy feeling a little bit grown up! So once you decide to have a kid's wedding menu, make sure you put effort in it.
On the plate, touching food might be problematic for some kids. Child's happiness or hunger may depend on those additional few seconds of preparation on the dish. You can ask the caterer to arrange food in a pattern to provide a bit more interest to their dish. And you don't need to be a talented artist to achieve this; all it takes is a little food arrangement to turn a meal into a happy face, butterfly, or sword!
2. Just Make It Mini
While there are some menu items that are likely to be a favorite with kids of all ages, dining may soon devolve into a complete disaster because of the size of food. If you don't make much time to come up with the kid's wedding menu, you can just make mini version of your elegant menu! Some of our faves are mini-cheeseburger sliders, macaroni and cheese balls, and mini-grilled cheese sandwiches served with a cup of soup.
3. Buffet / Station Lines
Set up a kids' station for the sliders, mac ‘n cheese, and fries so that kids kids essentially walk up to, grab something to do and go back to their table. This area will have enough there to entertain them for awhile. And for the convenience of your wedding guests, you can ask the waiter to guide young people in making their decisions swiftly.
