Re: Wedding Menu & Wedding Program???
wedding progrms will be handed out to guests as they arrive at our ceremony by our DOC. We want programs as we have a lot of detailed things or things or importance to us in the ceremony and want guests to be able to follow and know siginificance of everything
menus we will have at place setting and i think this a nice added touch.
neither is necessary just personal preference

I have only seen programs done at church weddings and rarely do I ever see menus at wedding. I don't think either are necessary. The waiters will tell your guest their choices.

Wedding Programs were in a basket in my church lobby with a sign. And our menus were placed at the guests' seat.
ETA: Are they necessary- our program was but our menus, no- but we wanted them
Here are our menus

Menu's are a nice touch but not completely nec. I only did them because it wasn't so expensive for me and I have many people who can't hear very well in my family and it is easier for them to read what they can order then hear a waiter tell them what they can order.
Programs are nice but really REALLY not nec. I found only a few people (the close family) pick them up and use them.

I didn't do menus. I did do programs for the church.

Re: Wedding Menu & Wedding Program???
neither are necessary. we are doing both.
Programs -- I like the way they look, want to incorporate our fonts and color into it, plus we are having a Jewish ceremony which many may not be familiar with so I have brief descriptions of the various parts. also, i like knowing who is who and this way it lets people know who the bridal party is, etc.
Menus -- I like the way they look, although I never heard of menus before LIW. At bar mitzvahs and sweet 16s someone would go around and say chicken or steak and you'd pick one. as a picky eater I like having time to decide in advance and not be put on the spot, and also to see the different things being served. i also want to bring in blue as a border, etc since the blue napkins available arent the right shade, and im making them in our fonts.

i think menus are more necessary than programs but we did both. theyre a nice touch. we just laid the programs out on chairs with our fans since it was an outdoor ceremony and the menus were placed at each place setting with one of our favors.

I personally like the idea of both, but neither are necessary.
For the programs , I like them because you are mixing friends and family that don't know each other all the time. So it gives a description of who people are in the BP and the order of the ceremony.

We're having a choice of 6 entres for dinner, and it can be difficult to hear the waiter over the music, so we're going to have menus
I like the idea of wedding programs, but I still have to convince FH to get them...i think it's a nice way to honor the members of your bridal party and explain various aspects of the ceremony, but it's not necessary by any means.

it just depends on what you want to do. some do programs and menus for every guest, others may do one per couple. either way is fine.

as far as menus, check with the RH. Ours provided them.
as to programs we didn't use them and no one missed trhem. If you have time and want to do them fine but I would not stress about it - - there are more important things to tend to and doing programs is only going to add to the $$$ spent. save that for a couple of tips.
