Menu, Program and Placecard Pics

Hi all, a few people FMd me about my menus and placecards that I made...I actually took pics before my wedding to share with all of you, but in the hectic week before the wedding I did not have a chance. Here are some pics for you all!

Menu:

Table Cameras w. Scavenger Hunt

Placecards

Our table cards were numbered with names of NYC landmarks, and the pics were also on the placecards.

You are so creative!! Thanks for sharing these pictures! I especially love the menu, program, and basket! (I'm guessing that red was your wedding color?)

They are all amazing! I love the menu idea but I have never seen this done before. Did you put them on the tables so that the guests could figure out what they wanted for dinner?? That might be a stupid question but hey.... I love the Scavanger idea. What where some of the things people had to look for?

Thanks ladies, I am a creative person trapped in a numbers based job, so this was my outlet
For the menu, I printed out the menu on cream cardstock and then layered that onto a cranberry cardstock. I used a creative punch from Michaels to make the design on top. I actually stole that idea from someone on here, I saw it and loved how it looked. And yes, my hall did have six menu choices for the guests...Larkfield rocks I printed up two per table, I was going to do one per chair but it was way too much work that close to the wedding. Most guests thought that the hall provided them, so I guess they came out well.

The program was a tri-fold on legal cardstock. I got all the paper from Paper Access in Manhattan. The format was Ceremony, Bridal Party, Directions to reception on the inside and Thank you, and a poem (How do I love thee? By Elizabeth Browning) on the back flap with our engagement picture on top. It was the cheapest way I could think to do it, as it used only one piece of cardstock per program. I tied them shut with cranberry ribbon as a belly band.

My BMs wore Cranberry, so thats why everything had a cranberry touch. I loved making all of it, it made my wedding feel so personal to me. It was fun having people come up and say they liked everything.
