1. What invitations, decorations and favours do you choose?
A street food festival wedding needs matching invitations, such as tickets for your guests. Provide drink vouchers and hang menus on the food trucksor on chalkboards, all in the spirit of your wedding. For decoration, you can choose lanterns, flags, quotes on chalkboards, wooden signposts and so on. Elements that go 100% with a casual street food wedding. Finally, edible wedding favours also go with such a theme: a bag of homemade popcorn, candy bags to fill yourself or cocktails in a personalised Mason jar will let your guests reminisce and feast at home!
2. What kind of catering?
No street food festival without food trucks! The fun part is that you can completely tailor the catering to your style and taste. Ensure a sufficient variety in the offerings, so every guest can find something delicious: from quick snacks to refined dishes. Also, think practically: choose dishes that are easy to eat standing up and trucks that allow service to run smoothly and quickly. Tip: provide enough choices per eating occasion (appetizer, main course, dessert), so your guests can discover something new throughout the day.
