Wediquette Wednesday: Can we do a plant-based option at our wedding reception for both the vegans and vegetarians?

Each Wednesday, we tackle wedding etiquette. At times, it’s a reader question or one from a colleague, friend or family member and other times we’ll cover a popular issue. (Note: Questions may be edited for clarity and brevity.)

Question: We have several friends who are either vegetarian or vegan. Our budget is tight, but we want to accommodate both. Can we do a plant-based option at our wedding reception for both the vegans and vegetarians? 

Answer: Absolutely! This is such a good solution. Most vegetarians frequently eat vegan, but even if for those who don’t, a vegan option satisfies all parties. Plus, there are so many delicious, innovative ways to do plant-based meals these days. You never know, your omnivore guests might even get plate envy.
