Print Your Own Wedding Programs and Menus on 80lb Cardstock

A print shop charges a setup fee and a price per page for wedding programs and menus. You can print them at home on 80lb smooth white cardstock for the cost of the paper and your ink. The sheet feels heavy enough to read as formal, and it feeds through a home printer. Logan did her wedding suite this way to stay on budget. Her review leads off.

The budget review

"Used for the right part of my wedding suite. I was worried the bright white and warm white would clash, but I needed a specific size, and this was right for the budget. Was one of the easier papers for me to print with."

Two things stand out. She matched the white to the rest of her suite, and she printed at home without a fight. Budget and easy printing are the reasons brides skip the print shop.

How to print programs and menus at home

Set your printer to cardstock or heavy and use the manual feed tray. Print one test page to check your margins before you run the stack. Menus often print two to a sheet, so a single order of White Smooth Cardstock covers a full table count.

Match the size to the moment

Programs read well at 5x7 or a half sheet. Menus look right tall and narrow, around 4x9. We cut to more than 30 sizes, so you order close to the finished size and fold once instead of trimming every sheet.

FAQ

What paper weight for wedding menus?
80lb cover holds up on the table and still folds. Step to 100lb for flat menus that never fold.

Can I print menus at home without a print shop?
Yes. Use the manual feed tray, set paper type to cardstock, and run a test page first.
