The Importance of a Menu Card

Menu cards are important for many reasons. Not only are they a fun memento of an 

occasion and a meal, they are also another design element to your well thought out tablescape.

The number one reason to use menu cards is to simply let the guests to know what they will be eating, as some guests may have dietary needs that they had not mentioned to the host before the event. They are able to then let the wait staff know if there is an issue, which will give the kitchen plenty of time to handle the change. In the same respect, some guests just like to know what’s next so they can pace themselves and not get filled up too early.

Whether dashed off by hand on a piece of card stock, typed and printed on decorative 

scrapbook paper or letter pressed on a heavy card stock paper, a menu card at each place setting is one of the great parts of designing a beautiful table.
