Take your guests into consideration
Before you come up with the catering menu in accordance with your own taste, keep in mind that your guests shouldn’t leave your celebration being hungry. Consider some of the guests’ allergies or nourishment habits like vegetarianism. Even in case you and your fiancé want to add the exotic dish to the menu, try to dilute it with the standard food since not everyone likes the spicy Korean food.

    I like what you said about looking at menus to make sure that allergies are not an issue. I need to get a caterer for my sister. She is having a wedding and will have 200 people in attendance.
