Record a shared meal with a simple menu that focuses on the occasion and accurate dish names. Gather a blank card, a pen, and the final list of dishes being served.

Set it up

Write the occasion and date at the top, then list the dishes in the order guests are likely to encounter them.

Put the idea to work

Leave space at the bottom for a short note about the gathering or a little drawing of the table arrangement.

Finish and keep it useful

Place the menu where guests can read it and save one clean copy with other small records from the occasion. Avoid implying that a decorative menu supplies complete ingredient information when someone needs specific food details.
