Frequently asked questions

What size should a catering menu be?

US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) is the most common menu size. Use Legal (8.5 × 14 in) for longer dinner or bar menus, Half Letter (5.5 × 8.5 in) for drink and dessert menus, 4 × 6 in for table tents, 5 × 7 in for wedding place menus, and Tabloid (11 × 17 in) for wall menus or placemats. You can also type any custom size.

How many items should a menu have?

Menu experts suggest about 5–7 items per section so guests can decide quickly. If your list doesn't fit, switch to 2 columns, a Legal or Tabloid size, or move drinks to a separate menu.
