A couple of weeks ago, I had a bit of a conundrum: I couldn’t figure out whether or not to have menus. After reading everyone’s comments, I decided that I would do menus, but only if it were as simple as humanly possible, didn’t stress me out, and didn’t disrupt my very simple looking place setting. Here’s what I came up with:

You might be wondering where the circle of dots come from. I promise that I didn’t just throw them in there for the heck of it–these match our invitations, which you will be seeing in a couple of weeks.

Now, you can’t tell from these pictures how small these little guys are. They’re pretty small. I made them so that they will fit directly underneath the favor box, so as not to obstruct the table setting:

And the view from the top:

Waalaa! Totally simple, effective, and it didn’t even take me one episode of Law & Order! Works for me. I’m feeling pretty good about our wedding plans, right now. I am almost completely done with my DIY list. Here’s what’s left:

Memory Boxes
–print our family’s photos, get trinkets
Table Indicators
–Figure out how many more drawings I really need
–Design more drawings
–Make more sandwich boards (on BeeTV!)
–Write blurbs for under drawings
–Print out and attach to sandwich boards
Guestbook
–design, get supplies, assemble
Rehearsal Dinner Invites
–Design and have printed
Mail Invitations!

Not too bad!! I’m not feeling stressed about any of it.
