Like a protein bar and an apple. I wouldn't eat before hand. I'd hate to turn up full if there's plenty and it's amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700591 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 13:03:14 +0000 septca 1700591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you will probably be fine, but I would put a Luna bar in my purse! And at least they told you ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700526 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:59:50 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1700526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had friends that did this, it was interesting! There was basically a table with 4 or 5 different small plate entrees set out, and you took what you wanted. There was definitely enough to take more than one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700500 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:39:13 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1700500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably enough heavy appetizer type dishes to fill you up. It it were me I would pack a high protein granola bar type snack in my purse just in case. ;) I get migraines if I don't eat enough substantial food during the day and wouldn't want to risk it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700493 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 10:30:34 +0000 sandy 1700493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I get more full with heavy apps type food than a plated dinner bc the selection is bigger and I love to graze all night. I'm sure there will be more than enough food that you won't need to eat beforehand. Also I don't ever like to get too full bc I need to save room for cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700466 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 09:57:56 +0000 SweetiePie 1700466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yes I'd imagine that to mean tapas. More than just passed hors doeuvres but less than a plated meal (in size, not in quantity).<br /> I would imagine they'll have enough for people to feel "full", when I think of tapas/small plates it's still enough for a full meal, just lots of little options instead of one big option. But can't hurt to have a little snack first (says the 25 weeks pregnant lady :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700464 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 09:57:17 +0000 katsupgirl 1700464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that means no dinner but apps are my favorite and I can fill up on those. If you know the couple has different food tastes than you, I'd eat before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700463 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 09:56:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 1700463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard to say; but I would assume small plates would be more like heavy apps than larger dinner portion sizes. Heavy apps/small plates are often plenty of food though! It's difficult because they could be small plates of hearty food....or not! :silly: </p> <p>We technically served "small plates" at our wedding, but it was a plated 4 course dinner, following a heavy apps cocktail hour. So, PLENTY of food!! </p> <p>I wouldn't eat beforehand, but I've also been to weddings where not eating backfired on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/small-plates-wedding-no-dinner#post-1700446 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 09:39:11 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1700446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to a wedding today. The ceremony starts at 4:30. The invitation says that "small plates" will be swerved at the reception. Does this mean there's no dinner and it's more just apps? I'm trying to decide if I need to eat up before I go. ;) </p>
