Tips on How to Do Wedding Menu The Right Way
- Match the Theme: Your menu cards should reflect the overall theme and aesthetic of your wedding. Whether it’s vintage, modern, rustic, or beach-themed, make sure your menu cards match the vibe.
- Quality Materials: Don’t skimp on the paper quality. Your guests will feel the difference, and a thicker, high-quality paper will make a more favorable impression.
- Clear Typography: Choose fonts that are easy to read. While calligraphy and ornate fonts can look beautiful, they might be difficult for some guests to read, especially in dim lighting.
- Keep It Simple: Your menu doesn’t have to list every single ingredient in every dish. A simple description of each item will suffice. If there are dishes with common allergens, make sure to include that information.
- Consider Size: The size of your menu cards will depend on your table setup and what else you plan to include. They shouldn’t be so large that they crowd the table, but they should be large enough to read easily.
- Get Creative: Feel free to have fun with the design of your menu cards. Incorporate your wedding colors, add a monogram or emblem, use artwork, or even include a personal message or quote.
- Proofread: This seems obvious, but it’s crucial to check for any spelling or grammatical errors before you print. Ask a few people to proofread the menu to catch any potential mistakes.
- Consider Dietary Restrictions: If you’re aware of guests’ dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or any food allergies, consider having a separate menu or notes on the main menu to accommodate these needs.
- Menu Card Placement: Think about where you want to place the menu cards. They can be at each place setting, displayed in the center of the table, or even attached to a favor or place card.
- Consistent Styling: If you’re using menu cards as part of a wider stationery suite, make sure the colors, fonts, and style match your other wedding stationery like invitations, RSVP cards, and thank you cards.
