The wedding banquet is an important form of entertaining guests at a wedding, and the taste and combination of dishes determine whether guests can enjoy a delicious celebration at the wedding.
1. The number of dishes should be even
The number of dishes at a wedding banquet is usually eight to symbolize prosperity, ten for perfection, and twelve for monthly happiness.
2. Use auspicious names for dishes
Auspicious phrases are generally used to express good wishes to the newlyweds and to create a festive atmosphere. Wedding banquet menus typically choose dishes with good meanings and avoid unlucky words or homophones such as "separation," "scatter," and "single."
3. Follow the principle of tailoring dishes to the guests
4. Pay attention to customs and taboos, and ensure portion sizes
In China, when entertaining guests, it is important to ensure they are "well-fed." Therefore, the selection of dishes is generally not limited by culinary styles, but portions should be slightly larger to fully ensure that guests "eat and drink to their heart's content"!
