How couples navigate conflicting religious dietary laws for shared celebrations

My wife's family has very strict dietary laws that mine doesn't follow, and we're trying to plan our wedding reception but every menu decision becomes about whose traditions we're prioritizing. We both want our families to feel comfortable and included, but we can't seem to find food options that work for everyone without someone feeling like their beliefs are being compromised.
