Food truck weddings are adorable with a unique charm and can set the backdrop to lighten up a heavy day. A food truck is probably in your Pinterest favorites, but how can you make sure you nail it and not fail it on your wedding day?

5 TIPS ON STARTING THE SEARCH FOR A FOOD TRUCK

1. Measure up.Get the measurements of the food truck. Length, height and width. Include measurements with the serving windows and back doors open.

2. Permitted permissions. Ask the venue about parking permits for food trucks.

3. Still standing. Guests need space to stand in line. Look for a venue with a covered area or party tent for sunny or rainy moments.

4. Powerful stuff. Most food trucks need a power source. Electric hook-ups. Access to water. Trash pick up.

5. At your service. Guest can be served from the truck window or food can be shared and delivered outside the truck. Ask about both or combinations. Extra servers may be needed.

5 TIPS WHEN CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING FOOD

1. Less mess. Choose finger foods or one-handed dining. Standing in pretty clothes and eating with a fork, knife and holding champagne is complicated. Make eating easy with smaller handheld foods and nibbles.

2. Enough already.Small bites, big bites, seconds, after bites. Your guests will expect to eat and will be drinking too. Ask if the food truck offers starters and in-betweeners and after-dinner eats.

3. A Wall of Self-service.Consider having a feeding station outside the food truck. A wall of pretzels. Side bar. Veggie bar. Dessert cart. Guacamole station. DIY nachos. Baby burgers. Mini pizzas. Coffee bar. Margarita bar. Mini donuts.

4. Extra reactions.Remember the kids, vegetarians, nut-allergies, lactose intolerant, gluten-free. Food trucks should have extra options for extra picky eaters.

5. Locally homegrown.Discuss local produce and homegrown choices with your food truck. Talk about ingredients and what is important to you. Include your dad’s homegrown tomatoes on the food truck menu.
