Wedding Menu Ideas: personalized menus as place cards.

My best friend wanted to do something that would make her wedding reception remarkable and that people would remember. So she decided to do something different for her place cards, that would be part of the favors that people took home. She personalized the dinner menu with each guest's name and added the bride and groom's names on the bottom of the menu along with the wedding date.

The menu had the same colors and type font that the wedding invitations had (which matched her color scheme for the whole wedding). She had the feeling that if she did it that way the guests would remember the event. She also added a small bag of after-dinner mints to the menu/place cards (also in the colors of the wedding theme) so the whole package was part of the favors that people took home.

A few months after she got married, she had another idea which was to add a picture of the bride and groom (just their faces) to the place card/menu (too late for her wedding) but she shared it with another friend, who used it.
