A menu card can be used to help to theme a meal, and to add ambiance to an event. It may be used to list courses to be served. It could be used as a guide to the items needed in each place setting: from the last course to the first, and as a cheat sheet for the kitchen. Formally, a menu card is to be in cream or white card stock, and can have a beveled gilt or silver edge. Informally it may be in any color or paper, without an edge. It is to be 4 to 4 ½ inches wide, by 6 to 6 1/2” high. It can be written on a blank 4 x 6 index card. It may be no bigger than 5 by 7 inches.
In business or in public, a menu card may contain a logo or symbol center of it. In a home, it may contain a heraldic device, a monogram, or intertwined initials. Each item may be embossed, engraved, or printed. Formally, this item may be printed in a color to match the beveled edge of the card, or in the theme color of the event.
For extremely important occasions, a menu card could be engraved in French in script in black ink. For a less formal occasion, the items might be written by hand in calligraphy, typed, or printed.
One menu card can be provided for each two place settings, usually at the setting for each woman. Each card may be signed by each guest at a given table, and given or retained as a memento of the event.
One card is to be retained by the cook. It is to be used by the host as a reminder of the items not to serve the same people at the next event, unless by request.
Informally, a menu card may be printed two to each side, four to a page, on construction paper.
A larger version may be printed one to a page, and used as a kind of sign in sheet. Have some fun with one.

"Juneteenth Independence Day" in America.”
“On June 19, 1865, legend has it while standing on the balcony of Galveston’s Ashton Villa, Union General Gordon Granger read the contents of “General Order No. 3:”
The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.[9]”
“In 1997, through the leadership of Lula Briggs Galloway, President of the NAJL and Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D., Chairman of the NAJL, the U.S. congress officially passed historic legislation recognizing Juneteenth as "Juneteenth Independence Day" in America.” “Lift Every Voice and Sing”
