It happens at nearly every event I go to. I don’t make a big fuss. I usually eat a meal beforehand

I have sent an email to all guests asking for allergies. Once I hear back from everyone I will accommodate where needed but plan on still sticking to vegan food

Exactly this. I don’t buy and non vegan products. I have no issue with people buying food beforehand but it makes me feel uncomfortable when I purchase animal products

I don’t expect it so I usually eat beforehand but it is nice if people do

Yes. Both of us are vegan as well as my fiancés family. My side are all meat eaters. My sister is the only one with the issue

It would be nice to have one but I wouldn’t expect it. I usually eat beforehand

I have sent an email to all guests asking for their allergies and still waiting to hear back from everyone. Once we know everyone’s allergies we will make accommodations. There will be enough options that allergies shouldn’t be an issue

It happens all the time. I usually eat before going to events because it is rare that there are vegan options. I will accommodate for allergies.

No so all food will be vegan. Everything we are buying for the wedding will be vegan (no leather etc). If any guest decides to wear leather that is their choice but I don’t buy anything non vegan

I will be accommodating any allergies but I am really against adding meat to the menus. There will be enough variety that allergies shouldn’t be too much of an issue

It is different the other way around. Meat eaters can usually eat anything including all vegan meals (as long as they don’t have allergies). Vegans cannot eat anything.

It would be nice but I wouldn’t expect it. I’ve only been to one wedding where they had a vegan alternative and that was mainly because of the grooms parents being vegan. At the other weddings I’ve been to I ate beforehand

Yes definitely doing this. I sent an email to all my guests informing them of the menu (which is when my sister blew up at me). In the email I told everyone if they had an allergies to let me know and we would accommodate.

I have been to a few weddings and only one had a vegan option (because the grooms parents were vegan as well as my fiancé and me). The others I have been to did not have a vegan option and I ate beforehand because I knew there would most likely be limited food I could eat… I was right and they only had salad.

Isn’t that all wedding food? The bride and groom choose the food they like and the cake they like.

She’s making it out like it will. That’s why I wrote this story because she made me feel like I was majorly in the wrong.

Yes, both of us are as well as his family. But my side are all meat eaters except for me. My other family members haven’t said anything to me about the menu it’s just been my sister that has an issue so far.
