One of the most interesting moments while organizing your wedding is personalizing every detail. The menu presentation needs to be taken care of carefully because it directly tells the style of your wedding. In order to surprise your guests you should make a creative and impressive menu that represents you and your partner. Here we’ll analyze some creative menus for any kind of party.
How to deal with the wedding menu
In the recent years we’ve faced lots of new ideas: from menus tied to trees to popcorn boxes for a cinema-style wedding. Here is one idea that matches art, originality and elegance: you can write the menu on a mirror that also pushes your guests to think about their presence at the event. You can also use a big mirror as a tableau de mariage and other little mirrors where your guests can find their seats…and check their makeup!
As a cheaper alternative, you can use paper tablecloths decorated with white letters: for the writing, you can rely on a professional or write yourself if you have a good calligraphy.

Think about having fun (and eating): creative solutions for your menu
A big kitchen paper roll could be used as a board where you’ll write the menu: you can find this idea on the tables of the trendiest pubs. You can also use one paper roll for a list of the dishes and another one for cocktails and desserts. If your wedding is quite informal, you can also make your guests write and sign a blank paper roll: you’ll avoid boring moments and you’ll have a funny souvenir of that day.
Like any big event, during a wedding there could be some delays and you don’t want your guests to be bored or annoyed, that’s why you could make a paper box with the menu outside and a surprise inside: a baguette, so that people can eat something while waiting for the main courses.
Use details to determine the general style
The tableau de mariage has become more and more popular in the recent years because it’s a useful tool to help your guests find their tables and seats. It establishes the overall atmosphere, especially regarding the menu and the party. For example, in a formal ceremony the tableau should be coherent with that style; same thing in an informal and free ceremony. The menu too should follow the wedding style: for an elegant party, you should offer fish, seasonal and refined ingredients and gourmet dishes.
These are tiny details that can be remarked in the tableau and in the setting. Otherwise, with a more rustic and informal menu, you could use an unconventional tableau. Remember that this will determine the mood of the party and your guests will certainly be influenced by it.
