Giving your wedding menu meaning...

Hi all -- I am looking for ideas on how Sacramento-area brides have given meaning to their wedding menus, whether by honoring your dual heritages or some other ways...

Thanks so much!

Jan

    My cousin and I both honored our ethnic backgrounds in our wedding menus. We and our husbands are all mixed race, and had our menus reflect that.

     

    She had the items represent something in each culture, like fish meant something to Filipinos, something was Polish, another item meant something to Chinese culture. And in her programs she wrote the background of what they meant to each culture. It's sounds much better than how I'm explaining it!

     

    Mine was buffet stations. Pan-Asian to represent our Chinese sides, Mexican food for my Mexican side, and Italian food for our caucasian sides, (though neither of us are Italian, you just can't go wrong with it!)

     

    This is my post on my bio about the food we served:

    You can also do something like have only local ingredients, or have favorite dishes (childhood favorites, family favorites, etc.)

    our menu meant...we like good food. We picked things that we liked, it had nothing to do with our heritage....trust me no one wants haggis or black pudding at a wedding...(or ever in my opinion)
