WHAT TO INCLUDE ON A MENU CARD
Our wedding menu cards are sized 5” x 7” and the minimum order quantity is 15, but you can order in increments of 10 to match up with the number of guests that are in attendance. If you are having a formal sit down dinner, it is proper etiquette to include a menu at each guest’s table setting. If you are having a buffet at your reception, you can choose to have a menu at the table setting for each guest, or you can opt to have just a few menus at each of the tables. Another option is to include a stack of menus at the buffet line or numerous menu signs surrounding the buffet line.
It is important to title the menu card with “menu” or another clear signifier so that your guests know what the purpose of this stationery is. If you want to add a more personalized touch, add the names of the bride and groom, or date of the wedding. The menu should include the dishes you are serving listed by each course. The first course of appetizers, salad, or soup, the main course of the entree and sides, and the third course listing what dessert is being served. Include the ingredients of the dishes and how it is prepared, or go more in-depth and explain why you picked the meal options. Here is a sample outline you can follow:
- First course (appetizers, salad, or soup) - List the ingredients
- Main course (including sides) - List the ingredients, how the meal is prepared, and all original course meal options.
- Third course (dessert) - List the ingredients
Typically, your guests choose their main course option when RSVPing to your wedding, but since this is in advance of the wedding, it is nice to give your guests a refresher on what meal they will be eating during the reception.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR STATIONERY WITH MINTED
Every design you see on Minted has it’s own unique origins, as all our designs are submitted by independent artists from around the world. The designs are refreshed regularly as new design contests hosted on our site receive new submissions. With hundreds of options to choose from, you will be sure to find the perfect menu card to match your wedding day stationery and achieve the elegant look you are trying to achieve.
Take note of our design filters across the top of our website to narrow down card options by style. Are you having a black-tie event and looking for a menu design that really fits the style of the event? Choose the classic and formal filter to look through designs that have been specifically curated to align with a look of formal elegance. Or perhaps you are trying to achieve a bohemian look with more illustrative work, florals, and pops of color? If you have a certain theme you want to follow, you can also filter for beach and nautical, cities and states, destination, monogram, and watercolor wedding menu cards.
If you are aiming to achieve a congruent and elegant look for your reception, Minted offers coordinating signage and stationery for all of your wedding day needs. Match the design printed on your menus with your wedding programs, table numbers, place cards, wedding favor tags, and wedding signs. All of these can match back to your wedding invitations and even your thank you cards! If you prefer to be less uniform, simply browse through our collection of designs that are continually updated to find inspiration.
Pick and choose what printing technique to feature on your event’s stationery, such as a foil-press or gloss-press. Our most classic printing technique, also known as flat-press, simply prints images and text on a flat card surface with no raised elements, indented elements, or add-on foil elements. You may be interested in a foil-pressed menu card, which has elements highlighted with gold, silver, rose gold, bronze, black, or ice blue foil. A foil-pressed design will be sure to wow your guests with its luxurious printing technique and chic shiny pop of color. A gloss-press design is similar to a foil-pressed one, but with a sheer and minimalist iridescent layer that will catch the light during your reception elegantly.
Do you have your wedding’s colors already finalized? Sort through our design collection by color options. Alternatively, you can find a particular design you like and then toggle through the color options available for that specific design. If you fall in love with a design that does not have foil-pressed elements and you would like to feature this effect, choose to add custom foil text! This option is available for a collection of our menu designs and allows you to add foil to any text on your card to give it a more luxe and elevated look. Highlight the menu courses, ingredients, wedding date, venue, or couple’s names in the metallic font!
Often times small details lend to design greatness. We allow you to adjust the cut of the edges to have square corners, rounded corners, and even scalloped edges. Next, choose which paper option you would like your design printed on. Options range from our signature paper, which is a thick, luxurious stock that Minted has offered for the past decade, to our luxe museum board, which is our thickest paper, with a quality and weight that is unmatched. For the eco-conscious that may be having an outdoor or rustic reception, consider our premium 100% recycled paper which is created from post-consumer waste and manufactured with wind-power.
Don’t let your design creativity be limited to just one side of your menu! The back of your wedding menu card has just as much real estate as the front. Why not add in some custom text and pictures? Some of our back-of-the-card designs feature options to include up to 9 images. Through our web tools, you will discover different design templates that can be manipulated. Use the back of the menu to tell the story of how you and your fiance met, or give additional details about your food selection and why it is special to you. We provide you with the same design freedoms as the front of the card to alter the text font, color, size, and placement. If you would rather have a more simple backing, we provide an all-white option, colored option, and patterned option.
LOOKING FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION?
Minted offers numerous customization options, but we understand that you may already have an idea for your ideal design before coming to our website. If you are unable to finalize the perfect design through our customization options available, a design associate will be assigned to your case to review your design and work with you to get the final product that you desire. Minted offers unlimited rounds of digital proofs, so you are sure to end with the wedding menu card of your dreams.
We also have a chat tool available on our website with representatives working around the clock to answer any of your questions or direct you to the right place for designing each aspect of your card.
