. . . to be irritated by wedding guests food requests?

[GettingImpatientWithThisStuff]

Ugh.

Maybe I'm reaching my limit for wedding planning nonsense but I'm putting a spreadsheet together for our wedding venue with our guests menu choices on it, and I'm finding myself becoming really irritated by some of the requests.

We offered a choice of two starters, mains and desserts, and a veggie option. Very few people have just said "X starter, Y main, Z dessert" - most of them are "veggie starter, Y main, I don't really like desserts so can I have some fruit please" . . . Similarly, people are telling me they don't like onion, or garlic, or whatever.

Of course this isn't aimed at people with allergies or intolerances - naturally we want our guests to enjoy their food and not become ill! But surely we can't cater for every like and dislike? I've never specified dislikes when responding to wedding invitations, as I thought it was dietary requirements rather than pickiness.

AIBU to disregard the "I don't likes . . . "?

As far as I am concerned, an intolerance is up there with an allergy. I don't want any guest of mine getting the shits no more than I want them having to stab themselves with an epi pen either. Everyone wants their guests to enjoy their day. But when there are no intolerances, allergies and the guest is just a fussy git, then they can jog on.

If guests are that fussy ( at any occasion, formal or visiting friends) they should just cook something they won't die from and bring it along themselves.

Whew. They are in control, the restaurant/home host doesn't have to worry anymore.

But I suppose the attention factor is gone, so sad that.
