Don’t Neglect Your Wedding Menu Cards

wedding-invitationsWhen planning out the details of your wedding invitation suite, menu cards are probably not the first component you think about. Save the date cards get mailed out first, so setting your wedding date is the first detail. The same is true for choosing a wedding venue, so you can complete your wedding reception cards. But finalizing details about appetizers, salads and entrees comes sooner than you’d expect, especially if you plan to include menu cards inside your wedding invitations when they are mailed out.

Why Include Menu Cards Inside Your Wedding Invitations

Invite and Delight

Sending wedding menu cards along with your wedding invitations can excite guests with details about the food you plan to serve. Whether you are having a formal sit-down dinner or a buffet, providing descriptions of appetizers, salads and entrees not only lets guests know what to expect, it may entice them as well!

Collect Entree Orders

But it’s not just for the pleasure and comfort of your guests. The main reason to include a wedding menu card inside each guest’s wedding invitation is so they can make a choice, usually just among entree selections. Typically, guests indicate their entree choice directly on the wedding response card, which can be pre-printed with menu selections. Receiving wedding response cards helps your caterer know how many of each kind of entree to prepare.

A Special Courtesy

Finally, including menu cards inside your wedding invitations is a courtesy to guests who may have special dietary restrictions or food allergies. In those cases, it’s a good idea to find out from your venue or caterer whether special meal alternatives will be available. You can then say so on your menu cards, indicating that additional menu options can be made available upon request. Be sure to discuss this first with your caterer.
