Your wedding table is made up of lots of little components from centrepieces and place cards to wedding menus and favours and your guests will only be too happy to pop down at their own little place and check out all the details after a bit of mingling at the drink’s reception. First up, they’ll be dying to see who they’re sitting beside and after that it’s on to the menu to see what grub they’ll be tucking in to that evening!
Unless you’re a stationery lover, the menu probably isn’t high on your list of priorities but if you want to keep your theme going or get a little message across to your guests, your wedding menu is the perfect place to go about it. We’ve come across lots of cute and inspiring ideas on our Pinterest travels from pretty illustrations and the couple’s initials at the top to striking fonts, fun wording, cute shapes and lovely thank you notes. Some hotels even print off a menu with a pic of the happy couple taken that day so that when guests go to check out the menu, there’s a photo of the newlyweds in their wedding finery beside the foodie options, which we think is just gorgeous.
Of course, you don’t have to go for menus on each table either, if you’re having a laid back buffet or BBQ, a big chalk board with your menu or an ornate mirror with all the deets will be just as effective and can create a bit of a focal point – we’ve included some of our faves below…
