Hi girls! I'm in the process of making a template for our reception menus ... I would like to use the spanish terms for the following:

 

Appetizers ------- the internet said "appertivo" ---

so would it be Los Appertivos? or just Appertivos?

or just use the singular?

 

Salad --------- Insalata? There is only one salad being served ...

 

Main Course ------- The only thing I could find on the internet suggest using

"Mensa Principalis" ---- Is this correct?

 

Dessert --------- The internet says "postre" --- would this be "Los Postres"

since we're having both wedding and groom's cake?

 

 

Thanks for the help! Apparently my 2 years of Spanish in college did nothing for me!!! :)

Here's what I would say....which may be wrong since I'm not fluent, but we have several fluent speakers here who can give you the real scoop :o)

 

appetizers = antojitos

 

salad = ensalada

 

main course = el plato principal or el plato segundo

 

postre is dessert....I think it should be plural but I'm not certain

Jamy is correct :)

Main course is also referred to as 'plato fuerte' it translates as 'strong plate'.

I would not add 'los' infront of 'postre'. It simply means dessert.

I'd much rather be able to order food in a foreign language than discuss world politics (sad, but true!) :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
