Cedar Creek - Menu Cards

Let us take the hassle out of creating the perfect wedding menu.
With our gorgeous design collections, we've got something to suit every wedding theme, wedding colour palette or style; and this design is beautiful, isn't it? Here's a few tips and tricks on getting that menu perfect.

When writing your wedding menu wording, don't be scared to pare it back.
Or, you can ask us to! While there's a lot of space on our wedding menus, it's not infinite. So if your venue has given you paragraph long descriptions on the meal, consider breaking it down to the core components.

Something like "Freshly made semolina gnocchi with a rosemary, slow-roasted garlic sauce, traditional roasted chicken and locally made sundried tomatoes, dairy free" would then be Gnocchi, chicken, sundried tomatoes, rosemary & garlic sauce (DF) - which is short, sweet, and still includes all the necessary info! And if you're not confident on paring it back yourself, just let us know you need us to trim the fat and we'll work our magic.

The same rule applies to beverages, if you're including them on the menu.
All you need to include is the name of the brand, brewery or vineyard, the name of the beverage or type; you don't necessarily need to include the location it's made in or the particular vintner that made it.

For example, if you've got yourself a fancy little Los Vasco Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Gran Reserva, Maximiliano Correa, Chile, you can take that down to Los Vasco Cromas Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 - your fantastic waitstaff and barstaff will be more than happy to give those finer details to any guests that ask!

Think about those guest names, if you're having them printed on the menus.
Do you want to include full names - so first name and surname - or did you just want their first name? Are you including titles such as Mr, Mrs, Mx, Aunt, Uncle etc? And do you have a few guests with the same name on the same table?

Whatever you choose to go with, keep it consistent - all first names, or all full names. And for those scenarios where you've got 4 or 5 Sarah's on the same table (we've seen it before!) think about including the first initial of their surname if you've gone for only using first names for your menus - that way Sarah L, Sarah F, Sarah X, and Sarah G will all be at the right spot.

And if you need any help with your wedding menu wording, just sing out.
