Menu wording (XP)

lehc723

I'd like to put menus on the tables, either as part of place settings, or one per table, or something, not sure yet. But we're collecting entree choices with our invites. So my weird, nitpicky question is: how would you word that? Would you put the entree choices on the menu card, or just say, Entree as deemed by invite or something? Part of me's worried that if people get there day of and see the choices they'll be like, "you know, I'm not really feeling that beef I ordered six weeks ago, can I get the chicken instead?", which is maybe silly, but I was wondering if it's something I should avoid, and if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks!

I'm doing the same thing.  I'm just listing salads/starters (which are the same for everyone), entree options (all the different choices they had), and desserts (which are the same for everyone).  I think the vast majority of adults realize that they already picked their entree and if not they'll realize it when the servers bring everything out.

I would just put "A choice of X, X, or X" or "The guest's choice of X, X, or X."  That's how I've always seen it done in the past.

We're doing plated as well. Here's my menu

if they've already ordered their dinner weeks before what's the point of the menu cards? imo-skip them.
what I do suggest is to be extremely clear about what the choices are on the RSVP card. example:
- grilled filet mignon with a red wine demi glace served with herbed roasted potatoes and steamed haricot verts.
if the beef can only be cooked to one temperature for everyone make sure you include that.

also this 'Entree as deemed by invite or something' makes no sense.  skip it.
