Just wondering if most of you are having menus printed up for your wedding? We just ordered our invites and aren't sure if the menus are a waste of $$ ?

Re: Wedding menus?
I am doing those myself. I have cardstock left over from another project. Ask the RH if they have a template you can use.

Re: Wedding menus?
My reception hall does this and personalizes them with our name and wedding date. That's good enough for me - I am not going to both making my own menus or having them printed somewhere else.

Our RH did the same thing, I was pleasantly surprised and took them up on it!!!
ETA: I was planning on making them myself until I found this out.

Ditto. I love how mine came out !! I found some examples on LIW's and came up with our own design from there. It cost me less than $10 !

Re: Wedding menus?
I am not doing wedding programs....my catered food is 'buffett style' so I am sure each guest can easily distinguish what each dish is and if not, could easily ask the server.

Re: Wedding menus?
I made my own. I bought parchment paper and printed mine and then mounted them on heavy construction paper that I got from the art teacher at my school. Cheaper, but time consuming. (but apparently worth it because everyone LOVED them)

Re: Wedding menus?
I DIY'd them. For our dinner, we are having a choice of entrees that guests do not pre-select. (The waiter takes the order at the table as if it were a real restaurant.) So it was easier for the guests and the waitstaff for us to print the menus out. We didn't include the cocktail hour food on them. I just used cardstock.

Re: Wedding menus?
I am going to buy cardstock and make my own. I designed my invites as well so I am using the same design for both. I feel like its more personal this way. Plus, Im sure guests will appreciate the menu beforehand so they are ready to choose when the servers some around.

Re: Wedding menus?
We too are DIY'ing them. 8.5x11 cardstock, two menus to a page, use a paper trimmer to cut them and possibly mount on chocolate brown cardstock to have a back layer.
I definitely want to do my own because we have a lot of choices for dinner and I want people to know what their options are before the waiters come around. Also, our families are latin so I'd like them to have a chance to look over the choices and decide before they need to order.
