Menu, Program etc.

Are you girls getting all these things from your invitation company?

Re: Menu, Program etc.

I think I'm going to print my own menus, do one per table and put it in a picture frame. If I decide not too, I'll probably look for a Vistaprint groupon or something similar. I'll probably do that for programs as well.

Re: Menu, Program etc.

I made my own table numbers but am uploading menus to vistaprint same style to print them.

My programs I'm hoping to print. I bought them and am using a template from garner studios

I'm planning to DIY them. They have kits at Michael's or AC Moore you can get for a great price with coupons and they're plain so you can really do what you want with them. I'd rather put that extra hundred dollars toward an extra hour of photography than menus or programs.

Our venue provides the menu and seating cards. The only thing we're paying for are the programs. Check with your venue if they provide the menu and seating cards for you.

They provide you with the cards, but I believe they're blank and we have to either take them to a calligrapher, or printer. :) I'm probably gonna take them to a printer though to save money...maybe staples.

I am having my menu and programs made by whimsyB. she is making my invites also.

Re: Menu, Program etc.

I printed the menu up in Word, 2 per page.
We will cut them down the middle and glue them to the card stock backing. Saves money having it done and it makes it more personal.

We are also printing our own programs and table markers and place cards.

The table markers will not be numbers, they are pictures of places we have been with a paragraph on the back about the place and what we enjoyed about it.

The place cards will have our guests names on the front and a smaller version of the pics on the back.

The invites were purchased at AC Moore with 55% off coupons, 100 invites with reply cards and envelopes for both cost $30.00. We printed them ourselves.

Am doing wood burning for the base of the table marker holder, as the venue doesn't supply them. Trying to save money any way we can while still making it nice, personal and from our heart.

Good luck.

Re: Menu, Program etc.

I'm thinking about buying the templates on etsy. They're like $8 for the template and then I'm just going to print them myself. I'm going to do programs and seat cards(since I need the photo booth strip format).
