A printed menu tells your guests two things: you planned the food with intention, and this dinner is an event. These menu cards bring the Dark Manor aesthetic to your table without requiring a graphic design degree.
What’s Included
- Editable menu card template in PDF format
- 5 x 7 inch card size (prints two per letter sheet)
- Gothic serif headline with “Menu” or custom title
- Space for three courses (appetizer, main, dessert) plus a drinks section
- Ornate Victorian border with corner flourishes
- Dark background with gold and cream typography
- Fillable text fields for customizing your menu items
Design Details
The card layout follows a traditional three-course format with generous spacing between sections so the text breathes rather than crowds. The “Menu” headline uses a decorative Blackletter face while the course listings use a clean serif for legibility. The border treatment matches the Victorian Party Invitation and Gothic Place Cards, creating a unified look across your printed materials.
Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or Preview on Mac to type in your menu items before printing. Use cardstock for a substantial feel. For an elevated presentation, fold each card in half so it stands on its own, or lean flat cards against a small easel or wine glass stem. Need menu inspiration? Our Halloween dinner party guide covers course planning from appetizers to dessert.
