Menu ETA Critique my Menu

Zimsgirl

Im going to work on my menu today. They will go on our table number frames. For our cake should I list the bakery it's from? It's the most popular and best in town. Everyone loves it. Should I put where it's from or just the flavors?

ETA: I just finished a first round. What do you think?

Personally, I would not. To me, it would seem like name dropping.

I would just do the flavors.  If people ask you where it's from feel free to tell them but I don't think you need to advertise it.

Thanks i didn't think of it that way

BTW, what flavors did you guys pick for your cake?
 
We picked banana cake with bavarian cream and pineapple jelly stuff and the other one is strawberry cake with bavairian cream, strawberry jelly, and some other strawberry thing. LOL It's really good and we're super excited about our cake!

We chose baileys chocolate cream for 2, and the other 2 layers are strawberry and lemonade flavor

Those are great flavors for a June wedding!

We decided not to freeze the top layer of the cake. I did NOT want to do a fake cake so we did a full cake of marble then two smaller sheet cakes of cherry chip and lemon. To make each tier bigger to feed our guest list would've been a few hundred more dollars and we both liked lemon and cherry chip in addition to marble so they were like you can do sheet cakes and get more flavors. I was sold haha

I would add your names and the date to the menu. I get not advertising for the bakery but I love reminding people who they're there for!

On the front side is the table number with a picture of us and our monogram...should I still add our info to the menu? It's getting kind of tight on space but I could do it as a footer maybe?

I didn't realize it was double sided; I thought it was in a separate frame for some reason.

I should've explained better my fault.

Just because I like continuity, it looks a bit odd that in the salad, you only have the first word capitalized, but in the rest of the menu, each word is capitalized.

Oops thank you! I copied and pasted it directly from the menu emailed to me and didn't notice that!
