Food trucks at weddings are no longer a new trend but a delicious addition of flavor and fun seen more frequently during weddings today. However, planning the logistics of a food truck is often something that couples neglect to think about. Ensuring a smooth operation with the food truck involves a combination of logistical planning and timing. You want your guests to smoothly navigate their way from the ceremony to the food truck and savor every bite of the delicious offerings! Here are some tips to create a well-thought-out food truck wedding experience:

Tip #1: Truck Menu on Place Cards
Have the truck menus on their place cards so they can decide what they will want to eat ahead of time for efficiency
Tip #2: Have a "ticket" for the Food Truck
Depending on the food truck rules/budgeting, you could make that place card act as a "ticket" for the food truck. Have the guests bring it up and hand it to them so people aren't making multiple trips if that's not allocated in the service/budget
Tip #3: Simplicity is Best
Keep the menu options very simple
Tip #4: The More the Merrier
Opt for more than one food truck if possible
Tip #5: Think Ahead to Clean-Up
Make sure those trucks offer bussers/cleaners/staff to help with the clean-up
Tip #6: Have the DJ Help Out
Give the DJ an order list of the tables to call out, and they can call tables up every10 minutes
Tip #7: Rain Plan
Ask about a rain plan. What does the truck do if it rains, and how to accommodate guests if this happens
Tip #8: Ask what can be Prepared Ahead
Ask the food truck what prep work they can do before the wedding to make for a smoother process
Tip #9: Provide Activities for Guests
Provide an activity table activity for guests to keep occupied while they wait

These nine tips will help you plan ahead, and think beyond what type of delicious food you will offer your guests!
Happy planning!
