Wedding menu cards are more than just a list of dishes—they’re an elegant addition to your reception decor that enhances the overall guest experience. Custom menu cards add a touch of sophistication to your table settings while reflecting your wedding theme and style. Whether your wedding is traditional, modern, or rustic, professionally designed menu cards bring beauty and functionality to your special day.
At Copy Doctor, we specialize in creating custom wedding menu cards that align perfectly with your vision. Here’s what we offer:
A wedding menu is a printed or digital card that provides guests with information about the food and beverages being served at the wedding reception. It typically includes the courses, drink options, and any special dietary accommodations available.
Printed menus are not mandatory, but they are a nice touch, especially for formal weddings or multi-course meals. They help guests know what to expect and can be customized to match your wedding theme, adding a decorative element to the table settings.
A wedding menu typically includes:
To accommodate dietary restrictions, consider adding symbols or notes for items that are gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or dairy-free. You can also include a line at the bottom of the menu indicating that guests should inform the server of any special dietary needs. It’s helpful to plan with your caterer to offer alternatives for common restrictions.
Personalizing a wedding menu can be done by including custom artwork, monograms, or a color scheme that matches your wedding theme. Some couples add a brief description or story behind their menu choices, such as highlighting a dish that’s special to the couple or represents their heritage.
You can either print one menu per guest or one per table. For formal seated dinners, it’s common to print individual menus, while for buffets or family-style meals, a few menus placed around the table are sufficient. Make sure you print a few extras in case of unexpected needs.
It’s not required, but many couples choose to coordinate their wedding menu design with their invitation suite and other printed materials like place cards or programs. Keeping a consistent design theme throughout your wedding materials helps create a cohesive look.
For buffet-style receptions, it’s common to have one or two large menus at the buffet stations or a few printed menus on each table. This lets guests know what’s available without needing individual menus. Make sure to clearly label any dietary-friendly dishes on the buffet.
It’s best to finalize your wedding menu with your caterer 2-3 months before the wedding. This allows enough time to confirm the availability of ingredients, make adjustments for dietary needs, and ensure the printed menus are ready well before the event.
