AW: My menus!

I finished the last of my menus last night. I know I asked on here a while ago if it makes sense to do menus at each place setting, and most ppl said no, but my FI really wanted them, and I kind of did, too. So yeah... 250 menus later... here they are!






They will peek out of a folded napkin at each place setting, somewhat like this (but different colors):

  • Love them!  they look so classy!  We are doing them as well, though I know they aren't needed.  Did you do them yourself?

  • Aw they look so good! I think it was a great idea. It's def. not necessary but it adds that something extra and makes it look very classy. Love it.

  • Thanks! Yes, I made them in KeyNote. The colors, fonts, and patterns coordinate with our invites. They were a little time consuming, but really not that bad. I just worked on them while watching TV a few evenings. And the total cost was only about £4.

  • They look great! Are your guests choosing their entrees ahead of time or are all of those options going to be available the day of?

  • They look wonderful!! I know they aren't necessary.....but I really think they are a nice touch!

    We are doing something identical with the menu in the folded napkin. Except our venue coordinator is doing them for us and using our wedding monogram...thank goodness for one less project that we have to do!
  • Bmore, they look like a professional did them, great job!!  What a nice touch!

    Our venue has standing menus already on the table so it was one less thing for me to worry about, although I would have loved to have done them because they look so niiiice!

    They will all be available. We have a buffet for the main course (and plated salads), but we decided we wanted menus so ppl would know what was on the buffet before going for it. We figure this will help move ppl along the line faster, since they will have an idea of which dishes they want, rather than standing in front of it all wondering what it is, lol.

  • Oh ok, makes sense. Great idea. I had originally wanted to do menus just because I liked the look of it. But we are having a seated dinner and guest are chosing on the reply cards so I didn't know if that would be overkill.

  • Bmore, you should seriously go into business! All of your paper products are just STUNNING! I love them! We're doing a big chalkboard menu at the entrance to the tent, but every time I see individual menus, I wish we had done those instead :( They look so classic!
