Planning a multi-day wedding and stuck on the sangeet night menu? This guide suggests playful, experimental snacks that balance guest preferences with modern trends. From a customisable French fry bar and hearty ramen bowls to pasta cups, sushi bites, fusion tres leches and baklava bites, each idea adds flavour, fun and Instagram-worthy appeal to your pre-wedding festivities.
Wedding bells ringing this season? Well, planning a 3-4 day celebration is no child's play and deciding on a menu for different functions is another task altogether. Keeping in mind your favourite snacks, your parents' and guests' preferences, and more, can make choosing what to have even more difficult. The Sangeet, which is considered to be among the most fun pre wedding functions can be great avenue to experiment with your menu. You can consider adding fusion desserts, bite-sized appetisers and other such elements that will surely leave your guests impressed. Here is a simple guide to help you pick some popular, yet flavourful food items for your sangeet night menu.
One snack that never seems to lose its popularity is the classic French fry. And for your sangeet function, you can choose to have a designated space for French fries, served in paper cups and sprinkled with cheese and parsley. You can also consider adding flavours like peri-peri, desi masala or even Mexican spice, for added deliciousness. Another fun element to add is to customise the paper cups; wherein you can get your couple’s name, wedding hashtag or a fun game printed on them.
If you are bored of the regular wedding snacks, adding ramen to your wedding functions can be another cool idea. Either choose instant ramen cups or DIY ramen bowls, where your guests get to choose from various toppings including eggs, meat, veggies, seaweed and more. Since this bowl is quite filling in itself, it is sure to keep guests full longer and allow them to dance their hearts out during the function.
While pasta is not new to an Indian wedding menu, sharing them in mini cups instead of usual plates can be an interesting twist. From mac n cheese to aglio olio, fettuccine alfredo, lasagne and arrabbiata, there are lots of options to choose from. It's a snack option that is loved across all generations equally, making it a perfect for the celebration.
Planning to experiment with appetisers for your sangeet night menu? Then you must consider adding sushi bites as they are not only flavoursome but also add an element of uniqueness to the function. You can choose different flavours as per your guests' preferences to offer them a one-of-a-kind experience.
Another dessert that has joined the bandwagon of popularity after tiramisu is tres leches. This spongy and airy cake is dipped in a milk-based concoction and topped with whipped cream, chopped fruits and dry fruits, making it absolutely delicious. You can also experiment a little here by creating fusion flavours such as thandai tres leches, rasmalai tres leches, masala doodh tres leches and many more.
These Middle Eastern-based desserts are all over our Instagram feeds, bakeries and sweet shops these days and incorporating the same in your sangeet night menu can be a wonderful idea. Baklava bites contain a premium mixture of finely chopped pistachios, sandwiched between crispy thin layers of phyllo dough, and soaked in a special syrup. Indulgent and oh-so perfect!
