Ok, so I wasn't going to do one of these, and then I came up with my autumn / leaf 'theme' and I really like how it looks when brides make everything matchy-matchy ... invites, placecards, menus, programs ... so I decided to make a menu. I do some scrapbooking, and I kinda took that approach. I bought a leaf punch at AC moore (40% off coupon made it only $5.50!) and used orange paper that I had at home ... I realized that the brown paper the menu's matted to is the same style!
I love how this looks, but I am going to try a few other things: - I may mat the menu onto a piece of cardstock that is chocolate brown instead of mocha-colored - I want to write the date somewhere, but I was originally thinking IN THE LEAF, but I do not know if it will look smushed - I want the word 'Menu' to fit somewhere but the way I have it now, everything JUST FITS - I may use paper with a leaf pattern and not do the leaf punch thing, giving me more room to write the date and the word 'menu' somewhere
What do you all think???

Looks good- The only thing is that the Appetizers and Desserts are capitalized but the entrees are not.

Really awesome!! Did you set your menu already?
No ... well, the dinner choices are set, the guests always have a choice of those 7. But the appetizer / salad / dessert -- the things I chose are what I *think* we are going with. I'm not going to make all menus for a while, I just wanted to get a sample ready.

Re: First draft of my menu!
Thanks everyone!! I am going to make another one soon with some changes, date in the leaf, choc brown backing, different style ivory cardstock (I had one with little flecks of brown in it, but I screwed it up and had to use this one, which is textured but not as fall-like) ... etc. Will post them when I have them!
