Re: food for guests

Keep it simple. **

Breakfast** should be milk, cereal, toast, perhaps boiled eggs, jam, fruit, juices, butter etc laid out in buffet fashion.

**Lunch
**Boiled white rice
assorted raw salad
dressings placed on the side
kebabs
some gravy dishes x2
custard and jelly for deserts
naans/rotis
daal
achar etc

dinner
similar to lunch. if you can make a soup as well itll be good.
juice/colddrink/water laid out

Re: food for guests

1 salan, roti, salad and some meetha or fruit
or
biryani rice, salad, raita, meetha or fruit

or 1 salan, plain rice, salad, meetha or fruit

Keep it siimple. Don't hesitate to cook daal or a sabzi dish

for breakfast with toast, jam, butter, chai, milk, juice, have eggs available...they can make to choice.

Re: food for guests

Are you in Pakistan? Could you hire a cook? That what my Phopho did for my bro's wedding guests.

Anyway, menu ideas:

Breakfast - cereal, toast, porridge or parathay and eggs!

Lunch - roti, salan, yoghurt, salad and then fruit for dessert. If you want to go western pasta bakes, sandwiches, wraps, jacket potatoes.

Dinner - Rice, salan, roti, kebabs, salad and then for dessert icecream or fruit.

Have a BBQ one day and get all the guys to do the cooking!

To save time you could get premade naan or rotis so you don't have to make them at home.

Re: food for guests

If these guests are relatives of the brides (uncles/aunts/cousins, etc).....then is there really a need to have a "special" menu for the whole entire week...when you have wedding expenses to contend with? If they're just relatives....then keep the menu simple. You could jazz things up a bit by adding kababs, a nice salad, and a couple of chutneys to go along with the salans and chawal dishes that you serve during lunch/dinner. And just a couple of desserts.

Re: food for guests

yeah i wouldn't go to such a drastic effort as making a menu? Just go about normal food routine! Otherwise when people know you're making a fuss then they'll just get picky! Just have a NORMAL routine..nothing too fancy!
