Menu Selections on Place Cards

Darien, on October 27, 2018 at 11:27 Posted in Wedding reception 0 14

We have to show our guests' two menu selections either on their place cards or some other way at their seating at the reception. Any ideas as how to do so?

    We got these great little gold stickers off etsy - cows, chickens, carrots (for vegetarian), stars for kids and a hospital-looking cross for allergies and dietary restrictions. They worked perfectly!!

    Our venue said that they typically place a sticker on the guests’s menu too!

    One wedding I was in. and was making her placecards. we used a jewel sticker in the corner. and gave the hall what each color meant (so silver was beef, purple chicken, blue fish) something like that.

    it worked really well. as the hall had a list of however many of each meal at each table ahead of time. and they just had to look at the name card. without interrupting conversation or anything. (plus a LOT of people forget what they ordered).

    Menu cards were placed on each table x2 for everyone to see whats offered dinner wise. Thank you cards with names with favours to personally have guests seat them accordingly. Vistaprint is my choice of getting anything printed now.

    Thank you! I actually found stickers for place cards on Amazon; ridiculously expensive, though! I will check on printing them.

    She had them printed along with the names so my guess is she just looked them up online.

    Is this so the servers know who to bring which plate to? At my friends wedding, she had little symbols on everyone's place cards. There was a carrot for the vegetarian option, chicken for chicken, pig for pork. Because I was gluten-free, I also had a red star to indicate my allergy. As far as I know, everyone got the correct plate so it was a good system.

    Yep! Printed menus are the way to go! I'm doing 1 for each guest as their place setting! But I have been to weddings where they have just 1 menu displayed per table and it worked fine!

    You can actually print out menus off Vistaprint? Catch them during a semi annual sale they’re super reasonable!
