When is a good time to start deciding on menu?

I would start deciding now. Do some tastings at local catering companies or restaurants that do catering. I would start deciding on a meat, a fish or poultry, and a vegetarian option. Then you can decide first course and whatever else you are thinking about. I would obviously include the menu options with the RSVP's for the invitations, but people sometimes underestimate the time it might take to plan the menu because you want food that is pleasing to all pallets. I hope this helps. Congrats!

This all depends--are you having your reception at a venue that will be providing the catering? If so, they should contact you about 6-8 weeks before your wedding date to set up a tasting and finalize the menu.

If you are catering it yourself or using an outside caterer not attached to your venue, I suggest talking to them and starting up a dialogue about your menu. You don't have to do it ASAP, but the sooner the better to give you some room to change around things.

Don't worry about coinciding your menu with your invites--these are two separate things and are not dependent on each other.

i would say about 3 months before the wedding.

Any sooner than that you might change your mind about somethings on the menu, and any later you might have it on your things to do list, but at that stage the dress fittings, the bridal shower and music, selection cake selection etc etc will all be happening and u might find it hard to find the time to sit down and discuss a wedding menu.

you sending the invites six week before the wedding...bad idea. i think you should send it 2 months before the wedding, so people who are coming out of town can have enough time to do what they have to do (buy ticket, possibly book for a hotel, take off from work, and etc). And i also think you should decide on your menu 1 month before the wedding.

Anything you can get sorted out sooner is better. If you are having options, maybe settle on the 'must haves' and wait til' closer to the date to decide on everything.

i tink u should start preparing the menus now and a couple weeks before the wedding u can re check them jus incase u wanna change anyting.

Congrats in advance

Firstly, U R FROM WHICH PLACE / CITY.

Secondly,if u r giving for catering one week adv confirmation is better.Mean while try to discuss with friends / elders n family

members reg. menu etc.,.(Even for hotel people one week's

time is ok.)

All the best.

Firstly congrats. And if you have the venue already you can plan the menu any time you want its never to early as long as the venue is sorted out. Hope it goes well!

whenever you are ready you can choose. That way when its time to print the invites you ahve one more thing done!

as soon as you can, it helps with budgeting and saving a headache doing it closer to your wedding date.
