What to Do with the 'Menu' Placed on the Guest Table?
The 'Menu' to Write the Wedding Meal Menu *
A menu is not essential, but unlike a regular restaurant, guests will enjoy a course chosen by the bride and groom rather than selecting their own dishes.
Therefore, guests won’t know what the next dish will be.
While this adds an element of excitement and fun, considering guests with allergies, it would be kinder to prepare a menu; discussing the menu names could also spark lively conversations among guests at the table.*
A Collection of Playful Handmade Menus Beyond Standard Designs *
The menus we will introduce this time are all unique and different from typical designs, intended to be enjoyable for guests ♩
As you look through various ideas from past brides, let your imagination expand on what kind of menu you want to create! *
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu①
Menu sheets are often in the form of a single card, but don’t you think it’s cute to roll them up like a scroll seating chart?
A larger piece of paper, like a rolled seating chart, should be easier for older guests to read than a small menu.*
Placing it upright on the guest table will make the table decor more vibrant ♩
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu②
A bride placed a large hexagonal menu on her plate.* The monochrome color scheme has a vintage overseas movie vibe and is lovely ♡
The hexagon, resembling a turtle shell, symbolizes longevity and good fortune ◎
The fringes on the corners of the hexagonal menu add a lovely touch ♩
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu③
Here is a bride who printed the menu on the placemats.*
The center is reserved for the plate service. The left side of the mat features the menu, and the right side has the drink menu, allowing for convenient menu access even after the plate is placed! ♡
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu④
There was also a menu that explained each course with illustrations.*
Text alone can make it difficult to see which part of a dish corresponds to which description, but with illustrations, it can be understood at a glance ♩
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu⑤
The idea of placing a long menu folded like an accordion is also wonderful!
It will become exciting to flip through and see what the next dish is ♩
Using wooden forks as place cards adds a cute natural touch too! ♡
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu⑥
Visually resembling a guide map from Tokyo Disneyland, this menu has a Beauty and the Beast theme inside ♡
The large 'Be Our Guest' lettering is impressive, creating a fun atmosphere as if Belle is being entertained at the Beast's castle! *
Senior Bride's Thoughtful Menu⑦
A bride put a name sticker on a glass bottle to use it as a place card and inserted a rolled-up menu in the shape of a scroll seating chart.*
The highlight is that the outer design of the menu features flowers and greenery ♡
When placed in the glass bottle, it looks like a vase with flowers, adding a beautiful touch ♩
Moreover, to prevent the bottle from looking lonely after the menu is unfolded, she incorporated dried flowers inside it too! ♡ (Swipe to see!)
This is an incredibly wonderful idea that can be used as a place card, menu stand, and table decoration for guests. *
