Menu cards...do we reallyyyyyy need them?

Hola ladies, So we're in the final stages and I'm just wondering if we really need to order menu cards? We do have the full menu on the website already so do we honestly need them printed for the tables? Also did anyone skip ceremony programs? Are these needed as well? I just feel like they'll read...
Hola ladies,



So we're in the final stages and I'm just wondering if we really need to order menu cards? We do have the full menu on the website already so do we honestly need them printed for the tables?
Also did anyone skip ceremony programs? Are these needed as well? I just feel like they'll read them and then leave them on the seats right after lol. Thoughts?

    We're skipping programs, but having our buffet menu options printed at the table settings. We have a lot of options so we wanted to be able to list out options and ingredients for dietary and allergy purposes.

    Skip the menu cards. The caterer should provide cards by the food to indicate what ppl will eat. If you have someone that can do your programs for free, go that route. If not, ppl who follow along just fine.

    We just found out that our venue actually prints off menu cards for free. They weren’t advertised and I only found out after talking about ordering them in front of the wedding coordinator. It wouldn’t hurt to ask your venue. If they don’t and you want a menu card and also to save money, do a double feature by combining a menu and table number in one. Place two per table instead of per seat.

    Thanks Felicia that's a great idea! And I know for a fact that our venue doesn't offer them lol. It's not a traditional venue that comes with like a day of Coordinator or anything unfortunately.

    Bummer! Here are a couple ideas that I’ve seen. Either way, guests won’t miss them but they are a great touch if you have a little extra money.

    Menu cards yes unless you get the food everyone is going to eat pretty ordered for each guest and have the seating charts made according to whomever is eating one particular dish and sides and the other side seated for whatever else your going to have served
