I am planning a nice sit-down dinner. Is it rude to not offer guests a choice of entree?
At the place I have selected for the reception it is one price for the selection of one entree and quite a bit more if I offer guests a pre-selected choice of 2 (I still have to give an exact count ahead of time). I'm not thrilled at being raked over the coals and can't think of any issues if I selected the one entree (I know all of our guests would eat it, nobody is a vegetarian or has allergy issues). It makes me wonder, do the guests expect to be given a choice of entree?
I am inclined to pick just a chicken dish - I figured it was safe. I need to keep within budget and my preference is to pick the one dish and be able to afford a few extra people to attend.
There's lots of great advice here. THANKS!!
