I know I still have a while - but I bought some cardstock and ribbon to make my menu cards and table numbers - I was thinking of making one menu per table and putting it on a mini easel and everyone can just pass it around what do u think about that? I don't think I have the patience to make each person their own...

How big are your tables going to be??? Maybe 2 menus per table?

Re: Went to Michaels today
If I do menu's I am only going to do 1-2 menu's per table. I think it depends on the size of your table. I am having 10 people per table and will probably make 2 per table.
This is so funny.. I was at Michael's today wondering where people bought cardstock from. I didn't want to ask anyone who worked there. Do you buy the cardstock in packs of many sheets? What section of the store is this located in?

They have packs but they also have single sheets. I bought 2 packs of 100 each of various neutral colors they were about 6-7 bucks a pack. I'm not sure which 'section' they were in because the store was hard for me to navigate as I am used to going to the riverhead one...

I def. want to try and make DIY menus...do you have oval or round tables? i think that will make a difference as to how many menus you need per table. I would suggest at least 2 for an oval table- they tend to be bigger.
the tables are round and will be seat 8-10 people per table...

yeah, but I'm thinking its better than if i had no menus and the waiter came around and told them their choices and then had to think about it on the spot urrghhh I just dont know if I have the patience to do 120 of these menus. Maybe if I start now lol...

Re: Went to Michaels today

Theres 3 meal options - I did not realize I have to do 1 menu per person I might have to rethink this - I thought if I made one or 2 larger one on an easel stand would be acceptable but I might have to rethink this now...

Nah u didn't hurt my feelings at all its good to have feedback like this - I will prob compromise and put a few at each table like every other place setting perhaps. I'm having a smaller wedding and everyone will be sitting with people they know so Im sure they won't mind if not everyone has one. I actually have a coupon 40%off entire purchase so I'll go back next week but if I need more I'll let you know - thanks Barb!!
