Woot!  Another Happy Wedding!  Congratulations!

I helped craft our district policy way way back in the day.  We revised it a few years later.  It's based on kids so I don't know how much help it will be.

Any chance your DD can do this presentation.  This is her future, them coming to her home, her going to theirs, it would be great if she could open a two way dialog with them

Maybe something from Massachusetts’ food service training?

Lauren is getting married. Love my son-in-law-to-be. Gentle, sweet, open-minded, generous-heart, adventurous, and best of all, her eyes light up at just hearing his name - couldn't be more thrilled.  We are truly blessed.

Groom's sister apparently had PA when she was younger and, thankfully, she outgrew so I think future MIL thinks she knows everything.
Yet she made PB cookies for DD's shower because it was a "family recipe".
Just avoided disaster when FIL, who was at the shower, ate unsafe cookies, then handed DD a glass of wine (hand over-top of rim - COVID reasons aside...not a good choice).
My son, also at shower, watched the entire thing and we were able to let DD know.

I don't want to get into too many details. I'll just say that they are NOT bad people. Just seems like they don't do well to new ideas and change...but in the PA world, to us...seems like an accident waiting to happen.

When DD was young, we invited both sides of our family over and basically, we had a peanut-allergy-training. Basically, we scared them with statistics, and we said that wedding, funeral, graduation, birthday...doesn't matter which...if there are nuts out, we are leaving. We won't hold it against you. You don't live in our world and we get it that in your busy life, something could be missed. We just and ask that you respect our decision.

This worked out VERY well as we had immense support on both sides (of something that really wasn't understood beforehand).

DD would like me to do this with the grooms side.

Here's the thing...most of my info came from the School Food Allergy Program. People seem to trust things in writing. Yes, I can pull things off the internet but a full, concise, authoritative book/source would be best...no...needed.  I can't give them a book. It won't get read. I need to "hold-the-floor" and present.

My presentation was made over 20 years ago. It's long gone. My School Food Allergy program was donated to the school.

Has anyone made any type of presentation like this who might be willing to share? Anyone in the NH/MA/RI areas have a School Food Allergy Program that I might be able to borrow? Suggestions are not only accepted, but appreciated.

If I have to start from scratch, I will. Moms do what Moms need to do...it will just take me longer and I'm doing this for DD to relieve her stress level.

Thank you in advance!
