Is anyone putting the entree selections on the tables? I saw the idea in an invitation catalog. I think it's a good idea but I just don't know if it's tacky or how you put it on the table? Do you just put one on each table in a frame? Or do you just put it on nice paper and put a few out around each table? Any ideas?

Please! and Thank God!

Peace.

There are several ways to present menus....

One way is to put them in menu frames. There are different types...very elegant metal ones that get layed flat on the table, silver or gold ones that stand up, and even satin fabric ones that come in all colors. You can even coordinate them to match frames used as place card holders.

As far as how many to get you can put several at each table if you are presenting them in frames or in menu holders. Another way to do it that is nice as well is to have them inserted into the flap of a folded napkin and lay them on top of the plate at each place setting. In this case you would need one per person.

I've seen them rolled up into a scroll on each plate. I though that was a nice idea.

Jennifer,

I did reception Programs, and on the back page it listed the menu. It was neat everyone seemed to enjoy the reception programs. They also listed the Bridal party, and all of the other things like best man toast, dances w/ parents and speeches.

Hi Vince!

Jamelle, that sounds like a great idea. so did you do wedding programs and reception programs? was the reception program limited to one page (like a menu would be) or was it folded in 1/2 like a wedding program would be (ribbon and all). did your guests think it was too much or really like it?

Thank you Dawn.

For those of you who supported my opinion and feel Mark is wrong... thank you, but as somone mentioned on this site... There is a big click going on here and I don't feel that I can give an opinion anymore without being trashed and shredded to pieces. Therefore, I'm signing off for a while. Our weddings are tough enough without all of this bickering. I get blasted for defending myself and these other brides keep piping in telling me to shut up. If it were there topic or something they felt, I'm sure if would be different. This site obviously belongs to Mr. Mark and his opinions. It's not for me. Thank you to everyone who supported me.

Tabatha, I did both, wedding programs and Reception programs. My wedding programs were tri fold brochures so they had 6 panels of information. 1) the cover 2) the ceremony 3) the bridal party 4) explanation and history of jumping of the broom ceremony 5) explanation and history of the tying of the knot ceremony (both are African American wedding traditions and the 6) had special recognition's and thanks, and dedication of flowers to loved ones. The reception program was plain card stock 81/2 X 11 folded in half. so it had 4 panels the 1) was the cover 2) was the order of the evening…best man toast, Son mother dance, cutting of the cake when dinner was served etc….. 3) was the Menu…with the choices 4) was the bridal party again.. I think that the guests enjoyed it, for those people that did not attend the ceremony they got to still take home a program , and for those who left their church programs in the car they still could follow along with the bridal party introductions. We listed them like XYZ (brother of the Bride) or XYZ (cousin of the groom) hope that this helps!!

Jamelle I have to say that is a great idea--the reception program-- def a neat way to bring everyone together and let them know the menu--because that is always one of the first things everyone starts wondering about--and in my family the second is if there is a vienesse hour!!!
