Menus and Drinks Lists

Menus and drinks lists set the tone, pace and practical flow of your wedding meal. A clear, well‑designed menu guides guests through courses, reduces questions, and doubles as a treasured keepsake. Match typography, colour and paper to your wedding style; keep decorative scripts for headings and choose high‑contrast, legible text for descriptions. Decide whether menus live at every place setting for intimacy, or on shared boards for a communal feel.

For drinks, curate rather than overwhelm. Offer a toast fizz, one white and one red for table wine, a signature cocktail that reflects the couple, and considered non‑alcoholic options. Structure the list into sections such as Toasts, Table Wines, Cocktails and Soft Drinks to make service slick.

Practical essentials: confirm dish wording and vintages with suppliers early, mark dietary options clearly, and brief staff with a one‑page service sheet. For outdoor events choose durable or laminated menus. Consider keepsake details like names and date, or a short line about the menu’s inspiration.

Well‑made menus and drinks lists are small design moments that keep service smooth and give guests a simple, elegant way to remember your day.
