DIY Programs/Menus

I'm considering doing them myself. Anyone know of any good resources for paper? Or any places that have inexpensive programs? TIA

Have you tried staples? They have cardstock that you can do your menus or invitations with.

You can honestly make it on the MS Word Program...you'll just have to fudge around the sizes, ink, and fonts, etc.

Pick Quick Paper in Farmingdale had a big selection from what I remember.

I was thinking I could make like a folder over program, the inside I have covered- I'm just going to use regular paper. What can I use for the cover though other than cardstock?

I work in the city and went here during lunch hour. They have great selections. I got the cardstock and the paper for the inside of the programs.

Kates Paperie in the city has a lot of stuff. I saw that Michaels has new paper products by Anna Griffith that are really cute, too!

Good luck

Got my paper at Staples and used a program from one of the other girls - I'll see if I can find the thread.

I made a tea length menu with a cover. I used vellum as the cover.

I am actually taking a trip over to 18th Street today to go to Print Icon. I love that place...they have great stuff.

For my programs I got a heavier linen type paper instead of cardstock. You might want to consider that.

I just got the covers printed and I am going to print up the inserts myself. I used invitations4less.com and their service was excellent! I got the linen quality in ecru and had the font and motif customized to match my Encore invitations.

This is an example from their website. I highly recommend them.

That's what I was thinking of doing. I printed up a draft of the inside and it looks great. Just need to work on the cover now.

Bump for more advice/suggestions!

I would really like to do a foldover one and print it myself. I can't find the right paper at the right price. I really want something with a border.
