    So I thought I would take it upon myself and create my own wedding menus and programs.

    Menu? Yep. Where I'm having my wedding, at the beautiful Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Gilroy... you don't have to pick if you want the "Chicken, beef or fish" you just get everything I pick all on one plate!!!

    So.. I thought I would take the guesswork out of "what is for dinner" and make menus that went with my color scheme.

    I bought 5x7 flat card in fushica from the paper source, and black and white print paper from Michaels. I've been using an exacto knife and a tape dispenser that looks like white out thing to tape it down to the other paper....

    I made two different versions- so I woudln't waste any paper.

     

    I also used some black ribbon to accentuate it. Mr. Fried Chicken was impressed!

    I've made 50 so far... I have about 50+ to go, and I still actually have to print the menu and put that on there too!!

    I bought a stamp with our inital on it.. it will match the rose initial that I made ... and this will go on both the top of the menu on the white card part and on the wedding prorams as well.

    What was I thinking making menus!!! :  wedding diy menu DSC00465will I ever finish????

    So far these look great!  It sounds like you are making great progress and still have plenty of time before your date.  Stay strong lady!!!  Keep on crafting!

    I think you decided to make menus because you knew they would look gorgeous and add a special touch --- and they look amazing!

    I would ration your menus out...if you do 5 a night, you'll be done in 10 days :)
