Menus

September 19th, 2006 @ 11:30 am by Mrs. Butterfly

Now that the wedding is drawing nearer, I have become very conscious about the money I spend because I need to have enough left over to pay my vendors on the last week. Can you imagine if I ran out of money? Eeeek!!

Anyway, one way that I am saving money (albeit only a hundred bucks or so), is to have “shared” menus at each table. Instead of one menu per person, my menus will be in tent card form. I guess when I go to weddings, I only take the programs so I don’t think menus are as important. But that’s just me.

I will have 3 per table, which should be plenty for the people to share. However, I didn’t know what to put on the other side of the tent. I didn’t want to leave it blank, so Mr. Butterfly and I have decided to write the story of how we met, or a timeline of our relationship, or something else personal. I think that the guests will really enjoy reading about it.

When I actually write the story, I will post it - I promise!!

Oh, the last detail of my menu that I really wanted is the pictures of the cow and the fish from a previous blog. Since many of the guests are Korean and may not understand the menu, I wanted to put pictures of the animals on my menus too. Does anyone know where I can get them?

I’ve been searching high and low for rubber stamps of the same thing–tiny images of a cow, fish and veggie. I’d love to hear if anyone knows where to get rubber stamps of these too.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of writing the story of how you two met, a timeline of your relationship, or something personal =)

That’s a great idea - but if these menus have an extra ‘fun’ bit to them, don’t you think guests will want to keep them? I know I would!

Here’s a link to a dingbats font with similar images: http://www.dingbats-uk.org.uk/dl-zip/z-csp/farmwild-csp.zip

I was also planning on using the images for our RSVP.

what if you put a guide to who’s sitting at the table on the other side of the tent card? like, what their name’s are, how they know you guys and maybe some little fun fact about them?

Jennie went to college with Miss Butterfly at Bug U. Jennie can balance an olive on her nose!

LOVE the idea of the story or timeline… how sweet!! It DOES make it more of a keepsake though… make sure not to make it too wonderful, though, or everyone will want one to keep!

you can buy a clip-art book from Dover, which comes with a CD of each image.

Here’s one of animals:

Here’s one of “whimsical” animals, whatever that means

We combined our placecard and menu together. I’m not sure if we saved money…but we did save on time!

Sabrina-thanks for the tip! Googling “teacher rubber stamps” got me to these great options for fish:

And this for cows, chickens, veggies:

I love that they’re all relatively small stamps too.
