Menu Cards & Programs...yes or no?

We're having a sit down dinner and will have menu cards. I think programs aren't necessary though. Our ceremony isn't more than half an hour at the most and it's at the venue, so there's not that much to explain to guests.

No menu cards because we're having a buffett. I bought program fan kits from amazon just in case the weather is unbearable since we're having an outdoor ceremony. I may only use our monogram and list the wedding party, cuz i'm so over picking verses and fonts.

Programs: unnecessary, however can be a good place to give details, like if you have a memorial flower who ever it is for can be mentioned in the program. Also can be fun to give a description of bridal party, example: Maid of honor... jenny smith, best friends with the bride since 2nd grade. I see most ceremonies being so short you could print them on a business card, if its short and you have nothing 'note worthy' skip it and save the $

Menus: also unnecessary.. unless of course guests are picking their meal on the spot (highly unusual) with stations I would suggest having either a.) a menu at each station, describing what is there b) a centrally located easy to read diagram of each station and what it has c) one or two menus on each table with what is at each table. I would say skip a menu card at everyplace in this situation.
