  We had family style and this is what I did. I am cutting names of items short for the purposes here, but you'll get the idea
  
  Hor Dorvers (I know it's spelled wrong) - we had a table of snacks set up
  cheese & crackers
  white pizza
  veggies & dip
  
  Salad
  Italian salad Salad w/house dressing
  
  Entrees
  Chicken
  Beef
  Potatos
  Mixed Veggies
  
  Dessert
  Assortment of pastries
  Chocolate Covered Strawberries
  Fruit Platter
  
  And to pull them off cheap but still look nice I bought a very heavy cardstock from office supply store. Then on my Word Program picked the option for typling in columns & centered the wording in each column. I found a nice font (that was the hardest part) & printed on paper. I cut the paper in half & then a section off the bottom so they were the right length & used a really nice corner cutter that I picked up in the scrapbooking section at my local craft store. It was a detailed cutter, not just a rounded edge. A lot of people thought they were professional done,

  [QUOTE]Hello all,  I am getting married October 5 of this year. I want to design some Menu cards the problem is. I am not sure where to list each item. The food will be served buffet style & I am aware that menu cards are not used with a buffet style meal but I've just always envisoned that. So if I am serving Fruit Tray    Salad    Corn on the Cob   Green Beans Homemade Macaroni & Cheese      Homemade mashed potatoes Lasagna  Baked Chicken   Alfredo   Dinner Rolls   Wedding Cake &  Grooms Cake Is there anyone who can help me with how this should be written on the actual card?  Thanks in advance!!

  what do you mean by 'buffet style'? are you having a buffet or not?
  imo the menus in that case are useless. you can put small signs in front of each dish of food on the buffet.

  We're also doing a buffet and I'd really like to do menu cards as well (probably just one per table, instead of per person, but I haven't decided). Even though they might not be done for buffets, I thought guests might appreciate one so that they know what their choices are before they actually get up to the buffet. It may also reduce the time it takes for all the tables to be served. What I'm doing for my menu cards is to divide them into sides, entrees, and desserts (with "choice of:" listed underneath). So for you, perhaps you might do:
  
  Entrees:
  Choice of:
  Lasagna
  Baked Chicken Alfredo
  
  Sides:
  Choice of:
  Fruit
  

  Salad  
  Corn on the Cob 
  Green Beans

  Homemade Macaroni & Cheese    
  Homemade mashed potatoes

  Dinner Rolls 
  
  Desserts:
  Wedding Cake & Grooms Cake
  
  Just a suggestion. In any case, it sounds delicious!
