Appreciation Dinner - MENU

I was asked to work on the menu and the souvenir (which was a yearbook) for this dinner. The menu didn't get approval only because it was too complicated for the amount of time we had left before the dinner, but I enjoyed the idea, so I'm going to share my home-made-falling-apart model with you.


The original idea is the one on the right but with the suggestion of a friend, the idea was tweaked to the one on the left. The concept is similar to a paper towel roll. It is a menu+program+thank yous rolled up around the neck of a table number stand, serving two functions(menu+table number if you haven't caught on). And to make things easier, the table number is just a topper that is put on separately so the menu+program+sponsors can be take off the pole and change/ convenient for last minute edits. But because I was a little worried that the menu+program+sponsors would end up being a really long sheet, and people would not want to roll back up the paper after unrolling it out, a friend of mine suggested I split it into three parts, and secure each part with velcro...unless I could figure out a way for the menu to be pulled out and have it spring back into its rolled up form. And that's what I did! (the former)

The final decision, was something much more simple: the menu+program+acknowledgements was printed on one single sheet and rolled up and tied nicely with a ribbon.
