Understanding Food Intolerances
Food intolerances can lead to discomfort and even serious health issues for guests. It’s important to differentiate between food allergies and intolerances. Allergies can trigger severe reactions, while intolerances may cause digestive problems. Common intolerances include gluten, lactose, and specific additives.

- Request dietary information on your RSVP cards.
- Communicate openly with your caterer about specific needs.
- Keep your guests informed about what’s on the menu.
