no pork for you!

Hey ladies,

FI and I are planning our dinner menus right now.  We are allowed 3 entrees one of which will be a veggie option.  We took a few close friends and family to our tasting and out of the 6 of us 5 LOVED a the chicken dish wrapped in procuttio.  The other chicken dish was too dry and not at all worth it.  The only issue is that a few disdant members of FI's family do not eat pork (maybe 10 at most).  How do i communicate that there is pork on the chicken?  I dont want to nix my favorite choice of meal for what 10 people might not even select since there is a beef and veggie option as well as an assortment of other food.  Do i list the full meal description on the RSVP?  I just dont want anyone unhappy on the day of  because they didnt know there was pork at play.

Re: no pork for you!

  • Do you have a wedding website? You could add menu information on there and get more detailed about what each meal includes.
  • First of all, your thread title made me think of the soup nazi.

    I would let the few people you are concerned about know by word of mouth and put it on the website.
  • List the full menu description on the RSVP. Write "chicken wrapped in pocuitto with blah blah blah". That's really the best way to do it with all your dishes. That way, if it was "chicken herp with derp" someone could let you know they were allergic to herp or derp. You'd be surprised the variety of food allergies, intolerances out there, etc.

  • OP, I love your sig quote.  I love that song.

  • RSVP option could be "chicken wrapped in proscuitto" or "proscuitto wrapped chicken". Although putting an extensive description on a wedding website is helpful, many guests (especially older ones) will never look at the website. 2 extra words on the RSVP card can do the trick and avoid confusion.
