Menu cards: whetting guests’ appetites — and showing your style!

The tables are set. The candles are lit. The guests are seated. And the question on everyone’s lips (after, of course, “How did she make everything perfect down to the last detail?”) is:

 “What’s for dinner?”

 Here’s the best way to answer that question: menu cards. Today’s menu cards are stylish, they fit in with your color scheme and wedding theme, they can be customized for a unique look — and they whet guests’ appetites for the meal to come!

 First, choose the size and shape of the menu card that suits your needs.

 

Go with round menu cards for a unique look.

 

Square menu cards are petite but full of impact!

 

Rectangular menu cards are perfectly sized to hold all your menu items.

 

Long, slender cards are eye-catching and great for lengthy menus.

 Then choose the paper color, layout and design that reflects the style of your reception — and your dinner fare. Use the same paper colors, inks, designs and monogram for all your printed reception items, like menus, place cards, favors and more. Or mix and match paper colors and ink colors for an eye-catching look.

 Remember — you’re the customizer and designer for your wedding, so use your creativity!

 Also remember display your menu cards in a creative ways on your reception tables — in easels, under clear plates, slipped into folded napkins or included in acrylic placemat  arrangements.

 

Enjoy — and bon appetit!
