How to List a Menu on a Fancy Invitation
When you are planning an event, you can include a menu card with the fancy invitations that you send out to guests. Usually a menu is only included when the event has a set fixed menu as opposed to an event offering choices for the guests. Menu cards are generally made to match the invitation design but can also be done with simple lettering. The menu is included as an insert and is not listed on the actual invitation. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Open a word processing program for typing up your menu. You do not have to print the menu yourself, unless you are creating your own invitations. Usually you can just send the menu document to your printer for it to be printed on a menu card and added to your invitation.

2
Type “Menu” on the top line and center it. This should be in a bigger font size than the rest of the text and can even be in all capital letters. If you prefer, you can make it say “Lunch Menu” or “Dinner Menu.”

Enter spaces between the heading and where you want the courses to start.

4
List the courses below the heading in the order that they will be eaten, such as appetizer, entree and dessert. Give each section either the course heading, such as “First Course” or a descriptive heading, such as “Appetizers.”

Describe each course in detail. Give the food item, texture, temperature, color and any other special characteristics. For example, instead of writing “steak with carrots,” you can write “Broiled Sirloin Steak with Glazed Carrots.” All words should start with a capital letter with the exception of prepositions and articles. The most important item for the course should be listed first. Using the steak and carrots example, you should never list it as “Glazed Carrots with Broiled Sirloin Steak” because the steak is the main focus of the meal. Space should be left between each course on the menu.

Leave off condiment items, including salad dressings and butter, unless there is something special about them. For example, butter for rolls should not be listed but you should list something like “Whipped Garlic Butter” beside the rolls because it is different.
