You Are What You Eat… Every family has a recipe floating around. Whether it has been passed down from great grandmother to your own mother and perhaps one day to you, these are the dishes that fed us, nourished us, and the ones that we grow to

When it comes time for people to RSVP for your reception write a small blurb explaining this heartwarming touch to your wedding and instead of asking them to check chicken or beef… let your guests decide between the bride or the groom’s family recipe. This will not only be something that will leave your guests talking but will also pay homage to your family.
