Planning an event? Tips for printing a memorable menu

At any event where food is served, the menu is the centre of your guests’ attention. When your guests see a desirable menu, they will anticipate the delicious food that is to come. Presenting a stylish and attractive menu sets the foundation for the wonderful dining experience that will be had.

As an event planner, you need to focus on all the necessary event printing to make sure your event runs smoothly. Here are some tips to create the perfect menu:

  • Font: Do not select a font that is too hard to read or too small. Guests will lose interest quickly if they struggle to read the menu. First test out your font type on friends and family and find out if they can read it easily before designing the menu using a font that will only lead to frustration.

  • Paper: The colour and quality of the paper you choose to print your menu on will play a role in your table decorations and the tone you want to set. Select the colours carefully as some colours could be too bright and will not complement your table decorations, but you also want your guest to notice the menu on the table, rather than overlook it. Therefore stay away from white as it is too plain. Also avoid colours that clash with one another or colours that are too similar to the colour of the paper.   

  • Detail: It is of utmost importance that you check the information on your menu before sending a final draft to the event printers. Spelling errors on the menu could either lead to confusion or doubt in your ability to host an event professionally. Sometimes when caterers make exotic foods, it is not that easy to notice a spelling mistake as the names of the dishes are foreign. Rather double check it online, or via any other resource, because your guest may know what the correct spelling is.
