So let's speak it's language!
If you aren't lucky enough to have us as a venue, it's worth asking your venue if you can offer a variety of dishes to your guests for them to choose from. Trying to cater for your entire guestlist with one dish is dated and unrealistic.
The easiest way to do this is to include a copy of your menu within your invitations with tick boxes for the menu options. As soon as you receive your RSVP's, you'll have a complete list of who wants what, meaning everyone gets something they will love. As long as your venue is informed about the choices in advance, it shouldn't create any issues for them and it takes the pressure off you as the hostess (with the mostess).
But remember, if you give your guests a choice it's likely they will forget what they have chosen by the time they come to eat it! The best thing to do is to jot down on each persons name card what they have chosen, this will also help the food service run quicker and smoother.
