Yep, it's confetti vellum over white cardstock paper and I cut the vellum with scallop scissors. I can't make crap so you could only imagine how proud I am right now!!!

I typed up the menu in Word trying out a few different fonts until I tried one I really loved. I took a piece of 12x12 white cardstock and cut it in half. Then I took a piece of 8x11 vellum paper and printed the menu on it. I then shaped the vellum paper with scallop scissors. I don't have a hole punch so I had to use a pencil point to make the holes on top of the paper for the ribbon. When I pulled the ribbon through, I tied it and glued a ribbon flower in the middle. It was quick!!!

Probably about 200. I'm going to make 1 for each person. But, this was just a rough draft. FH and I may change the menu a little and add a Viennese hour. We're not sure yet...it's all about the ch-ching$$$. The paper is on sale right now at AC Moore for .07 cents each. Regular price is 20 cents each, so it's a great sale.
