If you want your wedding to truly feel French you have to focus on one thing: Food. Delicious, fabulous, French food.

The French are deservedly proud of their gastronomic heritage, and a wedding is the perfect place to indulge. If you and your partner love food, consider throwing a gourmet reception at an authentic French restaurant; instead of blowing your budget on a band, you and your guests could celebrate your marriage with a meal you'll never forget.

The French take the enjoyment of food seriously, so think fresh ingredients of the highest quality possible and divide the meal into various courses (keep the portions small). The traditional courses are:

  1. Apéritif - A pre-dinner drink to "stimulate" the appetitte.
  2. Amuse-bouche - A small (just one or two bites) savory snack meant to introduce you to the meal you're about to enjoy
  3. Entrée - We tend to use the French entrée when we mean "main dish" but to the French, it's more of an appetizer - something to keep you happy while you wait for your main dish.
  4. Plat principal - The main course.
  5. Fromage - cheese
  6. Dessert - Need we say more?
  7. Café - Coffee, to keep you alert
  8. Digestif - An after-dinner drink meant to aid digestion and conversation
