Yes</p> <p>maybe you can have a big menu as the guests walk in to read instead of a individual menus </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/are-menus-necessary#post-51142 Sat, 17 May 2008 15:31:38 +0000 suzanno 51142@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If you have time and money to provide menu cards, they are a nice option; perhaps not one for every place setting, but a few per table.&nbsp; Especially for elderly guests who might be a little hard of hearing, communicating effectively with the waiter with all the background noise that can be present in a large room is problematic.&nbsp; Although for most of your guests, given that you only have two options, it's not any different than listening to the waiter recite the specials in a nice restaurant.&nbsp; So if you don't have time or money, I wouldn't worry about it too much.&nbsp; It's really just one more thing that will go in the trash at the end of the day. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/are-menus-necessary#post-51140 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:42:21 +0000 awhalley 51140@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Our venue requested that we have people choose between the two menu options so that they know how much of each dish to prepare.&nbsp; I am thinking of including menu cards just the same though as the guests only know about the main ingredient of the main course (cod or chicken).</p> <p>For your situation I think that the menu cards will make things run more smoothly as people will see their options instead of just hearing them :)&nbsp; Plus, they look great on the place settings!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/are-menus-necessary#post-51136 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:34:43 +0000 LeahB 51136@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Our guests will be choosing&nbsp;their meals tableside on the night of the wedding. So I didn't have to put anything on the RSVP cards (although that seems fun too), my question is, is having a menu card necessary? I mean I know it's not <em>necessary</em>, but is it a nice thing to have? Will people feel lost without it? Or do I trust the wait staff to explain everything clearly? Would it save a lot of time to just have it and be done with it? I'm not sure I care either way, but I do love&nbsp;the little details. So what does the hive think? Have you been to weddings where you were choosing your meal that night and had or didn't have a menu card? How did it go? I honestly can't remember the situation at any wedding I've been to! How sad!! Haha. Thanks!! </p>
