A Memorable Menu

During the summer we love having dinner parties on our terrace. A creative menu is a great way to add a touch of fun to your table that won’t break the bank. Make your next dinner party even more memorable by creating either one communal menu or individual menus. The beauty of a dinner party is in the personal touches so I recommend you make it a fun DIY project by handwriting/painting the menu on creative card stock THINK bold colors, interesting shapes, origami and/or decorating with stencils, stamps, photos, etc. You can also write the menu on unexpected backgrounds such as wood or canvas. Etsy has a great selection of chalkboards, mini easels, napkin wrap menus, etc. Designing and printing using your computer with programs like PPT or Photoshop is always an option too.
