How are you doing your menus?

How are you doing your menus?

Are you doing one or two per table on easels or one per place setting like the scrolls? Post if you're doing something totally different!

Also, if you can give any insight to the size and cardstock you are using, that would be great!

Thanks!

I think #10 size at 80lb card stock is perfect for menus.

I used 110lb ivory cardstock for every other setting.

I agree w/Laurie - 80lb is perfect - just made them for Qiana, who's putting them 2 per table w/an easle.

Ugh, I'm so lazy, I don't even want to do this. There is so much going on and now I'm trying to find cardstock and figure how I can print this.

1 per place setting- I'll have to check at home for sizes - I got the paper at Staples

We made folding menus using 8.5x11 cardstock. We have an image with our names on the cover and list the courses on the inside. That way, we only need about 2 per table and don't have to get anything to stand them up!

I am going to use ivory card stock and print mine with a matching font to my invitation.

I am placing one (standing only, no easel) per place setting.

I feel very lucky that my reception hall is providing 2 per table for us. One less thing that we have to worry about!!!

I was going to do them but I have enough to do that I can't do them. Fh tells me there is no need for them thats what the waiters are there for I told him that it would look nice to have the menu on the table but I just don't have the time to make them

My FH is making them, he actually printed out two samples today - one on vellum and one on cardstock. I haven't seen them yet but I like the look where there's a piece of colored cardstock with the white vellum overlay, where the print is on the vellum.

I have no idea what the weight of the cardstock is, I'll check when we get home.

We'll be using the leftover placecard holders for the menu, one per table. I'll be posting photos when they're all done next week.
