"They graciously agreed to host Thanksgiving this year for the first time, something that I and many others in our large family were very excited about. They told everyone that they would be providing all of the food, but that if anyone wanted to bring drinks, that would be welcome."
"They had chosen a variety of dishes from different caterers that they were considering for their wedding, and they were asking all of us to rank the dishes from best to worst and explain why. She explained that they were feeling overwhelmed by food options for the wedding and wanted to get some additional opinions from family to help them make a decision."
My son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law planned their wedding and hosted Thanksgiving for the first time, saying they would provide all the food and welcoming drinks. Multiple family members offered to bring dishes, but the couple politely insisted guests not bring food to minimize leftovers. On the day, the meal consisted of a variety of basic options that were all catered, which upset family members who enjoy cooking and expected traditional dishes. After dessert, the daughter-in-law handed out homemade comment cards asking relatives to rank the catered dishes and explain their preferences because the couple was choosing wedding caterers. Several relatives felt the timing and approach were inappropriate, and the host who filled the card is unsure how to address the situation.
