DIY Vintage Wedding Menu Cards
Your wedding menu card gives guests a preview of the food on offer at your reception. It should also complement your overall theme. Yet, the menu card -- a small but important element in wedding planning -- is often overlooked. If you plan to have a vintage wedding theme, you should extend it to your menu card. Use readily available templates to design elegant vintage wedding menu cards.

Tie a piece of twine around the wedding menu card and knot it. This will enhance the vintage look and add a feel of drama to your reception tables. You can alternately glue the printed menu card to a cardstock base of the same size. Tie satin ribbons in colors that match your vintage theme diagonally at the two opposite ends of your card. Secure the ribbon into knots behind both ends of the card.
