menu for stations

Should I make menu cards if we are doing stations for dinner?

I would. It's always nice to know what your options are to eat (as a guest). J ate "mystery meat" at a wedding once and got sick from it. He was allergic but we found out after the fact.

While it probably isn't necessary, a menu would be nice so that guests know what is available at each station.  I went to a wedding last year that had stations with huge lineups, it would have been nice to know what I was standing in line for!

Should I make a menu card per person, or just one per table? Thanks for helping!:)

Hello Sunshine

I think you'd be fine to put one or two per table.  We had a full sit down meal at our wedding, and I only made 2-3 menu cards per table.

scoetto

We did two per table and listed the drink selection as well.

I wouldn't do a menu on each table. I think half of the fun of stations is walking around and seeing what's there. I would, however, make sure that everything on each station is clearly labeled.

Yeah, you can always label the food at the stations if you want. Just make sure there's some way for folks to know what they're eating.

we had a buffet and i did menus for each place with our names and date at the top.  i only did this, tho, becuase it cost me $0.  i would never have paid to do this.

We had labels in front of the food. We did a mix of buffet and station. Menus look nice but if budget is getting tight do not worry about, it is not needed. That is what happened with us.

Yes, please.  I have food allergies and would be annoyed to wait in line at a station to get to the front and find out I couldn't eat it.  I'd put at least one on each table.

FWIW, we made our own menu cards. Really cheap & simple. And got loads of compliments on them.

We definitely did.  I wanted our guests to be fully prepared to attack all 4 stations.I'm all about the food.  Mine is in my planning bio.

As a guest, I would prefer a menu card at the table.  If that's too much trouble, at least a card at each station. There's stuff I can't eat, and I'd rather not be suprised.

I have food allergies and would be annoyed to wait in line at a station to get to the front and find out I couldn't eat it.That's why I make FI stand in line first!I think I'm just doing 1-2 menu cards per table.
