Special Diets Driving You Crazy?

     When trying to decide what and how to serve the food for your wedding, you will want to make sure that you offer things that everyone can eat. You may have family or guests that are on special diets due to diabetes, or other health issues. There may be those that are on lo-calorie, lo-fat, lo-carb, lo-salt, or even allergic to peanuts or wheat, or those that are lactose intolerant.

Be confident that if your menu offers variety, even those that are diet restricted can eat something you offer. Don’t let it drive you crazy. You as the hostess are responsible for offering a variety of foods, but you are not responsible for a complete days dietary requirements for each person. For example those that are vegetarians can easily eat pasta, salads, and other side dishes and just choose not to eat the meat. If it is a matter of a severe allergy like with peanuts, you may want to give that special attention. However with a good variety of meats, produce, and carbs, your guests can pick or choose what they can and want to eat.
