When you were planning and considering venues for your wedding reception, food was probably one of the most important deciding factors, right? It always is! The truth is that you will spend a lot of time planning what to serve on your wedding day, so don't overlook the benefits of including wedding menu cards in each place setting. If your wedding invitation RSVP cards included meal options for guests to choose from ahead of time, menus are a great way to remind them of the fare they chose all those weeks ago. If your guests will be hearing entrée options at the table, they will probably appreciate having a menu handy to help them choose between the dishes. Moreover, a table setting isn't complete without a menu adorning each plate. Elegant calligraphy, watercolor hues, gold embossing, and hand-painted illustrations can all be used to add a personal, beautiful touch to a traditional paper menu. You can also experiment with shapes to give it a specific look- geometric triangles or hexagons create a modern vibe, while a round outline adds a touch of whimsy. Don't limit yourself to paper- acrylics, paper bags, cutting boards, and even the table itself can provide a unique look. For a rustic feel, try a wooden slab, a mirror, or a cascading banner topped with florals. While a single menu is ideal for a self-serve dinner like a food bar, food truck, or buffet style, it also works well for a sit-down dinner. The creative wedding menu card ideas presented in this article from the house of Brides are sure to inspire you.
