I opened my mouth and…

… I am co-ordinating a friends wedding potluck.  Yikes!

Just like with any food event, this has it’s pitfalls, but if this can be pulled off, I hope that the happy couple never know that anything might have gone wrong.

When doing a wedding, there are more things to keep in mind than with any other food-oriented event.  Not only do you have to keep track of hot and cold food, drinks, desserts and condiments, you have to know when the wedding party arrives, when they want to do the different toasts and start the dancing.  Dancing is mandatory at weddings.

Throw a potluck into the mix and it is chaos from the start.

For those of you who are reading this because of the notice on their website, please keep in mind a few things when you contact me.  Tell me your name.  I may or may not know you, or recognize you, when you call or email.  Tell me if you live in town or are coming into town for this, and if you are day-tripping.  What you are interested in bringing is the big thing, but the later you contact me, the more of that category we may have.  It isn’t just food we will be interested in.  Tea bags, flat ware and sundries are also on the list.

I know what to look for for some of the difficulties coming up.  I just hope that some can be completely glossed over to make the day shine for the happy couple.
