Menu card wording help

I'd like to put menus on the tables, either as part of place settings, or one per table, or something, not sure yet. But we're collecting entree choices with our invites. So my weird, nitpicky question is: how would you word that? Would you put the entree choices on the menu card, or just say, Entree as deemed by invite or something? Part of me's worried that if people get there day of and see the choices they'll be like, "you know, I'm not really feeling that beef I ordered six weeks ago, can I get the chicken instead?", which is maybe silly, but I was wondering if it's something I should avoid, and if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks!

I have worked alot of entree choice events and I have only been asked maybe once or twice for someone to change their choice. Usually with those, there are usually a few extra meals made for errors so those kinds of exchanges, if sparingly, are usually worked around. I really wouldn't worry about putting all the choices on the menu, people will generally just look for the option that they chose. Do you know how they are distinguishing who is where? That will really help. We used to put colored dots near their place settings or a special mark on the escort card.

We were putting it on the escort card as well, so glad to know that would help!
