How to choose the menu of Jieyang wedding banquet, and what problems should be paid attention to when choosing?

One. The number of dishes should be even. There is an unwritten tradition in most parts of China: the number of dishes in "weddings, funerals and happy events" (that is, what we call wedding banquets) is even; The number of dishes in a white wedding (which we call a funeral banquet) is odd. The number of wedding dishes is usually eight dishes symbolizing wealth, ten dishes symbolizing perfection, and twelve dishes symbolizing the happiness of the month.

Two. The dishes are named after auspicious words, which express good wishes to the new couple, please the guests psychologically and set off the atmosphere. For example, we can name pearl shrimp "Fly with me", fish balls in milk soup "Fish and water depend on each other" and jujube longan lotus seed peanut soup "Early birth". If the dishes at the wedding banquet are matched with color, material and taste, we usually name them after Yuanyang, such as Yuanyang fish fillet, Yuanyang chicken brain, Yuanyang crisp and so on. I wish the couple harmony and happiness. The names of dishes are taboo, such as two dragons playing with pearls, Yi Long playing with pearls, and two phoenix rising in the sun.

Three. Our country is a multi-ethnic country according to the principle of different people, and each nation has its own unique customs and dietary taboos. First of all, we should know the nationality, religion, occupation, hobbies, taboos, etc. of the guests, and flexibly master and match the menu that the guests are satisfied with. For example, in the traditional Muslim wedding banquet, the dishes in the eight bowls and the ten bowls are usually mainly beef and mutton. Pay a little attention to the local chicken, duck and fish, which has strong national characteristics.

Four. Pay attention to customs and taboos, and ensure that the dishes at wedding banquets are generally not restricted by taste genres. The raw materials are not expensive, but the amount should be a little more, the taste should be appropriate, and it should be matched with wine as much as possible. There must never be a situation where guests are not full or feel that they have nothing to eat. It is often heard that a friend went to a five-star hotel to attend a wedding banquet, and when he came back, he complained that he didn't have enough to eat, which brought a very bad impression to the guests.
