We spoke with our Babquet manager and he told us that menus were basically a waste of time and paper...no one ever keeps them, they all just end up in the trash. So FH and I decided not to do them....are we alone

Re: Abyone else not doing or didn't do DIY menus??
im not doing them either. i figure this is the one DIY i dont need. the only thing i would do different than my hall is add my monogram, and id rather pay attention to something else.

I wanted to do them -- but Lombardi's won't allow you to bring in your own menus, we were told they are really picky with them cause they don't want you to mispell things and such -- so instead we could pay for them to print their own for each guest which I didn't like for just put a framed on each table. We went for the free framed menus it just made things easy.

No we didnt do them either- to be honest once you are married you will realize that all the little extras dont matter at all. Honestly!!! No one is going to remember the menus!!!
good luck!!!

I did them, but I went to a wedding with beautiful menus on Saturday night AND after we ordered the waiter just took them away! I turned to my finace and was like, 'they don't leave them on the table!' So don't worry if you didn't do them!

We aren't doing them either. I have seen gorgeous DIY menus, but we just didn't think it was worth it to spend the time and money.

You're so right -- I have seen so many times where the waiter takes the menus so fast -- and me I like to save stuff like that and the menus are gone before you even know it.

I am not doing them. They are provided for us from my hall. In my own opinion I don't think people take a lot of time looking at it and thinking wow look how nice they made this.

I am so glad you posted this - I too do not think I want to do - just another thing to worry about, along with baskets in the bathroom...

Re: Abyone else not doing or didn't do DIY menus??
I am planning on doing menus, just doing one or two per table, not one for each place setting. I am also making sure to order one for MY table, so that I can keep it.
I like the fact that guests can read what is being offered instead of having the waitperson repeat it all around the table. It is an extra touch that I do remeber from the weddings I have been to over the years. A small expense, but I feel worth it.

No, our hall provided the menus for the guests. It was another project I didn't want to get involved with. I would agree, a waste of time and money....and ppl will most likely leave them. You know how many favors were left at my wedding?! I was furious.

I'm also doing 2 per table, for a total of 30. They will be on the reverse side of the table numbers, just for reference. I wouldn't bother printing one per person. I'm cutting them out tonight, actually.

our hall offers framed menus (two per table) - we're using them, not DIY...

Re: Anyone else not doing or didn't do DIY menus??
i made them.. then 'threw them out' on accident... (its ok i did most of the work at work haha) but then foudn them last week when i was unpacking my new house haha aw well! i think unless you have like 10 entrees its a waste of time... but i had a ton time on my hands so it wasnt a big deal for me
