The wedding scenario in India has come a long way since our parents’ time. From having simple decoration styles and themes to elaborate destination weddings, many trends of a wedding aren’t what they were even 20 years ago. Case in point, this wedding menu card from a Bengali wedding in 1990 that was shared on Twitter by @SadMandalorian. The yummy dishes and the simple layout of the card may leave you with a bout of nostalgia.
“Omg my cousin found my parents' wedding reception menu card,” reads the caption shared alongside the post. Two images included in the post show the menu card. From chili chicken, fried rice to paan, each of the dishes seem drool-worthy. Don’t forget to check out the sweet note from the caterers printed at the bottom of the scrumptious menu.

They were so sturdy and useful. Some were even printed on banknotes and stuff”. “This is so sweet. Bengali wedding menus are so fun,” commented another.
