Written, typed and even painted menus are making their way into many receptions these days; the kind of wedding you have dictates the type of menu you'll use. For example, it would be more appropriate to offer guests a menu card at their seats for a black-tie affair in a ballroom, whether it be a card or the more recent trendy circular card that fits in the inner circle of the charger.
On the casual end of the spectrum, the surfboard pictured above doubled as a menu and a decoration for a beach-side wedding, and at an outdoor and/or country wedding, a chalkboard menu adds a rustic and personal touch. This is the route I'll be taking -- chalkboards will be propped on antique easels at every cocktail station. Even though you may think your menu is straightforward, it's a good idea to name every element of the dish, even down to the sauce (just in case of allergies).
