Making Wedding Menu Cards
Ideas For Making Wedding Menu Cards
So you have decided you are making all your wedding stationery, including the menu plan. If you are having a sit down reception, it is a good idea to have menu's, especially to hold important information regarding ingredients.
Some wedding reception venue's, will supply menus free of charge, but if you have full coordinating stationery for the rest of your wedding, why cut corners here. Your tables will look so much better with full coordinating table decor.
Points to consider:
1) If you have decided on a theme for your wedding, you could choose to add this theme to your menu cards, decorating them with flowers, embellishments or ribbons.
2) The menu's should ideally be very similar design to your place cards so that the full set looks coordinated on your wedding tables.
3) Decide how many you will need to make, you can either allow 1 per table, or 2 per table, but maybe consider making 3-4 for the top table. Depending on your budget of course.
4) The most popular size of card used for an order of service, is A5 postcard style flat cards, and A4 folded to A5 single fold cards. Both work equally as good.
5) If you do use the postcard style card blanks, you would need a card holder to place them into.
6) When printing, you need to decide if you want to use coordinating printables, or whether you are going to embark on the layout youself.
7) You can achieve great result, by using our Free Template, to help with you layout.
8) We advise on using a nice substantial weight card, between 250gsm-300gsm. This will be much nicer to work with and will look much more professional.
