Menu Cards
Every Course Deserves a Beautiful Introduction
Menu cards do more than list what's for dinner — they're part of the experience. A thoughtfully designed menu adds elegance to your table setting and gives guests a preview of what's to come. Whether you're hosting a plated wedding reception, a multi-course gala, or an intimate dinner party, custom menu cards help set the tone and elevate the occasion.
What Can You Use Menu Cards For?
- Wedding receptions: List courses, highlight the couple's story, or include wine pairings
- Rehearsal dinners: A polished touch for the night before the big day
- Galas and fundraisers: Formal events deserve formal presentation
- Corporate dinners: Impress clients and executives with branded, professional menus
- Holiday parties: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve celebrations
- Private chef dinners: Showcase your menu for catering clients
- Milestone celebrations: Birthdays, anniversaries, retirement dinners
Add a Touch of Glamour
Want to make your menus truly stand out? Add gold or silver foil to highlight text, borders, or decorative accents. Foil stamping adds a shimmering, luxurious finish that catches the light and elevates your design. Perfect for weddings, black-tie events, and any occasion where you want to make an impression.
Tips for Great Menu Design
- Match your stationery: Coordinate with your invitations, place cards, and programs for a cohesive look
- Keep it readable: Use clear fonts and enough spacing — guests shouldn't struggle to read the courses
- Include the essentials: Course names, brief descriptions, and any dietary indicators (V, GF, etc.)
- Consider placement: Menus can be placed on the plate, tucked into napkins, or displayed in holders
- Add personal touches: Wine pairings, a note from the couple, or a meaningful quote
