Entertaining Idea: Menu Cards

I love to style tablescapes for dining and entertaining and always focus on little touches that will make the décor special and unique.  One of my favorite elements to use is menu cards.  Normally reserved for weddings or formal dinners, menu cards can enhance all types of parties and entertaining events.

Here are a few Menu Card ideas I’m loving.

A simple card like this can be used for a ladies luncheon, garden club luncheon or a causal bridal shower.

 

Although this look is super formal you could interpret this fan idea for an outdoor BBQ, a picnic/family reunion or an outdoor concert when you and a group of friends rent one of the dining tables.

I love the idea of a round menu card using chalkboard paper or black cardstock and a white paint pin.  The circle fits perfectly in the center of the plate and can be place under the plate when service begins.  So chic!

How fabulous is the idea?!!  The perfect menu card for a wedding or anniversary party and the party favor is already taken care of too!

This menu card was created by etching or stenciling the menu onto an acrylic block that serves as the charger plate.  So dang gorgeous!

The menu card as the napkin cuff…another brilliant idea!

If you don’t want to create individual menu cards for each place setting, create a card to place around the wine bottles that will sit on the table.

Adorable!

A little extravagant for everyday occasions but for a wedding this is so unique!

Love this old school theme using library cards to write the menu on!  You can find library cards here on Etsy.

The layered look of this menu card adds to the bohemian feel of the tablescape.

Another fabulous old school idea that is super creative.  How many of you remember making these when you were younger?

So many beautiful ways to enhance your party table.
