InStyle Weddings gets a question this week that many couples face when planning their reception. Peggy Post (Emily's great-granddaughter-in-law) answers an inquiring reader: Q. I'd prefer to save money by serving only one entrée, since my fiancé and I have a limited budget. Is this considered acceptable?
A. It's fine to offer your guests just one option for the main course. When selecting it, though, steer clear of more exotic fare, such as sushi or venison, in favor of proven crowd-pleasers or seasonal. In lieu of providing separate vegetarian fare, consider hearty side dishes, such as a fancy pasta salad or sautéed vegetables, so nonmeat eaters won't leave hungry.
Whatever you decide, remember you'll probably never please everyone. Of course, you might also go another route altogether: A buffet can be an affordable alternative to a served meal.
I agree with Peggy that it's certainly considered allowable to present your guests with one entree, but I'd take it even further and say that when I attend a wedding, I actually prefer it when the bride and groom select one main course for their guests. Of couse, picky-eaters, vegetarians, children and all those with any dietary restrictions should be prepared for in advance, and a good wedding planner, caterer and/or reception venue will be able to do so, as well as deal with any guests that request different entree on the spot with ease.
I actually think this way creates a more elegant atmosphere. It avoids the sometime confusion caused by guests who don't remember what dish they checked off when they received the invitation six weeks prior, and as well as seeing placecards marked with meal designators like a "C" or "V", of which I am not a fan.
I think in general, a good event should leave the guests with no questions or confusion. They need to experience nothing but excellent service, without seeing all the tricks and efforts behind it. And truthfully, I don't even like those entree selection cards that come inside most invitations! A line to check off "Beef" or "Chicken" is never going to sound appetizing and won't give the full menu justice.
For our wedding a year and a half ago my husband and I selected a dish for everyone (in accordance with Peggy's advice, a scrumptious but non-exotic entree). We went through the guest list and made plans for all those friends we knew with dietary restrictions (a vegetarian here, a vegetarian there) and everyone was taken care of. We didn't anticipate one of the younger attendees wanting something a little more kid-friendly and the excellent waitstaff at our hotel-venue provided him with a children's meal in no time.

Lyrics:
RM: This was a pretty remarkable week on the gay marriage front
First of all, to have a state like Iowa
MG: Whatchoo tryna say about Iowa
RM: Not the east coast state
MG: East coast
RM: Not the left coast state
MG: Left coast
RM: In a decision written by a republican appointee
MG: shawty, now you sounding so fine
Give me your number, we can bump and grind
Talkin about politics all night
Leavin the club in the mornin light
If we get carried away
We might get gay-married today
KC: We just heard from some of our viewers who strongly support legalizing marijuana
MG: Shawty, 5 of those calls was from me
KC: Do you think we should legalize pot alone or all drugs, including heroin, cocaine, and meth?
MG: My brain says no, but my body says yes!
AG: I'm an angry gorilla. I heard you needed me (ooh ooh ah ah)
SH: Now that Captain Phillips has been successfully rescued
The president has decided to step in front of the spotlight
AG: Ooh, I'm angry! You can't see it, but my forehead's veiny
SH: And even take some credit for authorizing the mission
AG: Well, don't you worry, baby boo
You'll always have an angry gorilla to be angry with you
That's what I do. Just ask Donkey Kong. He's in my crew
KC: At the North Pole, new satellite photos show arctic ice is melting so fast
AG: Oh snap, how fast?
KC: Many scientists now predict it will be gone within 30 years
AG: Surely you jest! I'm under cardiac arrest, shawty
KC: Some researchers think it could disappear in just six
AG: Shit!
KC: Without it there could be a snowball effect
AG: Oh
KC: With temperatures rising even faster
If we all don't take bold action and take it soon
AG: Yeah,
Both: We will find ourselves on very thin ice
MG: Tell em, Hillary, pirates on very thin ice
HC: These pirates are criminals
They are armed gangs on the sea
MG: That means the ocean
HC: The United States does not make concessions
Or ransom payments to pirates
...
MG: Hello, shawty, we can meet up at the mall
Browse around at the bookstore
Mentally ball until we fall
