Most restaurants offer pre-made menu options for a certain amount per guest. For example, for 1500, 2000 and 2500 rubles. It is necessary to carefully study the options provided, to calculate how many grams of food will be obtained for each guest, if possible, ask the administrator for photos of dishes or the set table.

Typically, restaurants are allowed to create an individual menu, offering an assortment of dishes to choose from. For a full menu, it is better to choose 3-5 types of cold snacks (meat, fish and vegetables), 3-4 types of salads, hot appetizers, two options for hot dishes, fruits. For wedding dessert, usually order a cake or a set of cupcakes (small cakes).

When preparing the menu, consider the tastes of all guests. If there are vegetarians among the guests, do not forget to order an individual hot meal for them. For example, baked vegetables.

Almost all brides, and especially their mothers, worry that the guests will remain hungry. In the vast majority of cases, the excitement is in vain, because the administrator in the restaurant from his own experience knows how much to order food so that the table is not empty. But for peace of mind, you can focus on the number of grams per person. Excluding dessert, fruits and drinks should result in 1200-1400 grams. You should not take more, because then you will just have to throw away part of the food after the banquet.
5
Most restaurants offer "signature" dishes, such as stuffed fish or piglets. These snacks look very nice on the table. You can also order a hot dish, which the chef himself makes and cuts.
6
If the restaurant cannot make a cake, do not forget to order it separately. The same applies to the loaf. Some restaurants give a cake or loaf as a gift when ordering a banquet for a certain amount.
note
Some restaurants allow you to bring not only alcohol, but also soft drinks and fruits. Thus, for the proposed amount, you can order a larger number of dishes.
Useful advice
It is advisable to provide a separate buffet for meeting guests, where, in addition to drinks, also mini-snacks (canapes, tartlets) can be delivered, as they usually arrive in advance, and sometimes you have to wait a long time for the young.
