Wedding Day Details Not To Miss~ The Menu Cards

The Menu Cards

Why? Menu cards designed to complement your wedding day stationery and coordinate with your signature colors, will add a stylish extra touch to each of your place settings.

How to do it? The menu cards can be as formal or informal as your reception. Place round menu cards in the center of each charger to suit a decidedly formal reception. An individual menu card can be tucked into each folded napkin onto each guest's dinner plate. A framed menu card can be placed on each side of the table, so that all guests have a clear view of what will be served for dinner. A more laid-back wedding might call for the menu to be written on a chalkboard set up near the entrance. If you plan on serving a multi-course meal, consider giving guests mini menu booklets. They can even double as wedding guest place cards.

The attention that you place on even the smallest of details, makes your wedding day special. It also shows your guests that you took extra time to make them feel special as well.
