Menus are more than just a list of what’s being served—they’re an essential part of your wedding design. These little pieces of paper do a lot of heavy lifting, from adding polish to your tablescape to offering guests a personalized touch that feels intentional and elevated. We believe every detail on the table matters. The right menu doesn’t just inform—it complements the overall look and feel of your reception and adds a layer of depth to the guest experience.
Wedding Menus That Match the Moment
Whether you’re hosting a multi-course wine-paired dinner in Napa or a garden party-inspired soirée with family-style fare, menus set the tone. Think of them as mini works of art at each place setting. The fonts, the colors, the shape, the texture of the paper—it all comes together to enhance the tablescape and tie everything into your vision. A floral print border that mirrors your centerpiece? Love. A curved edge that echoes your arch design? Obsessed. Menus give you another opportunity to infuse personality and intention into your celebration.
How to Choose Wedding Menus That Reflects Your Wedding Design
Need help narrowing down your menu design style? Here are a few quick tips:
- Start with your tablescape. What colors, textures, or floral details are you already planning? Let your menu enhance—not compete with—those elements.
- Consider your overall vibe. Romantic and classic? Go with soft tones and elegant serif fonts. More playful or bold? Try modern shapes, bright colors, or unexpected materials.
- Make it personal. Include a sweet thank-you note, your initials, or a custom monogram to make it feel like yours.
- Think beyond paper. Acrylic, fabric, layered card stock, and even ceramic tiles can all be customized for something truly unique.
Elevated, Playful, or Full of Personality? Yes.
There’s no one-size-fits-all here—and that’s the best part. Some of our couples choose timeless calligraphy on soft deckled edges. Others want bold shapes, funky typography, or cheeky phrasing that gives their guests a giggle. All of it works—as long as it’s true to you and the day you’re designing. Our favorite menus are the ones that feel like a natural extension of the couple’s style. They’re small, but mighty.
