Didi, we are vegan and we are in the midst of planning our vegan wedding reception dinner menu.  Understandably, not all of the guests are vegan–especially those guests of our parents’ generation.  We’re not redneck hippies about food, but we want to adhere to our principles about food.  Do you have any recommendations for us?  We’re looking for a festive menu for a seated wedding reception dinner that will appeal to 150 guests. Or least be palatable to most.  Do you have any suggests?
