Or do I have to stick with just mine and my fiance's names?

we are not having toasts and not having speeches!

I'm not sure why you would have it stated on the menu. But on the invitations you can state:
Mrs. Jane Doe
and
Mrs. Sarah Doe
request the honor of your presence...

Here's something that is much more appropriate . .
Put a "Thank You" note to your Mother and Grandmother on your ceremony or reception program (not the menu) OR write a note of thanks on your computer, then put that note in a simple frame, and then put that framed note on your guest book table or gift table so everyone can see it.

Why not instead, during the reception dinner when toasts are being given, you and your new husband stand and propose a toast to your mom and grandmother to say thank you for hosting this reception and making it such a special day for the two of you?

I would think that you would be able to talk to the caterers and tell them that you want the menu to say "Pay by Mom and Grandma" in honor of YOUR NAME!
Most caterers should be willing to do that for you. It may cost a little more but it really shouldn't..I believe you can deside what design you want for the menu so you should be able to have that your mom and grandma's name on menu.

Maybe on the front or at the bottom (depending on the style of your menu), you could just say "(you) and (your husband) would like to thank (mom) and (grandma) for hosting our reception". It doesn't have to mention "paid for by..." at all. and would be more gracious that way.

I've never been to a reception with a displayed menu. I've helped my friend plan what was being served... you may want to think of another way. i agree with battcatj. if you want everyone to know they hosted it, thank them publicly. Otherwise, make sure you thank them separately from a regular wedding gift thank you.

People don't put names on the menu.

Word the menu? Just wondering because some people seem to be talking about invites....
Just say at the bottom:
"Special thanks to ....... and ....... for graciously hosting this dinner."
Sounds like a good idea!

you could have the best man thank them on your behalf during his speech. something to the effect of
lets all show our appreciation to katie's mum and nan for this beautiful reception!
and thanks to ............ and he can thank whoever provided the wine, etc.
this is also the perfect time for him to include reading of any telegrams sent by wellwishers who could not attend the wedding.
