The new year has many connotations: the closing of a chapter, the beginning of a new one, and a time to celebrate. It is the perfect chance for independent restaurants to get creative and make dining experiences unforgettable. If you’re planning a festive dinner to welcome in the new year, beautifully designed table menus can add an extra touch and act as mementos. Create beautiful custom menus in minutes using just three tools: stickers, fonts, and AI background. Here’s how you can bring your vision to life:
Stickers: Add a Festive Touch
Stickers are an easy way to inject personality and seasonal charm into your menus. Picsart’s extensive sticker library includes everything from elegant gold stars and champagne glasses to playful party hats and confetti. For a New Year’s dinner, choose stickers that match your restaurant’s theme. For example, a fine dining establishment might use subtle, metallic accents, while a more casual spot could incorporate colorful and whimsical designs. Stickers can frame your menu items, highlight specials, or be used purely for decorative purposes.
Fonts: Match Your Style
Fonts can really set the mood for your menu. Select your favorite from a wide range of typography options. You could opt for an elegant script, ideal for a sophisticated dinner, or a bold modern font that captures the excitement of a new year’s celebration. When choosing fonts, consider readability and how they align with your restaurant’s branding. Combine two or three complementary fonts (one for headings, one for menu items, and one for descriptions) to create a professional look.
AI Backgrounds: Set the Scene
AI Background allows you to generate custom backdrops that transform your menu into a piece of art. Apply shimmering gold textures, starry night skies, or abstract patterns in your restaurant’s signature colors. This tool is especially useful for creating a cohesive theme across your event materials. For instance, a menu with a dark, starry background and subtle golden sparkles can mirror the wonder and possibilities felt during a midnight countdown. Use the AI Background tool to tie your menu design to your table settings, decorations, and overall vibe.
These three tools make it simple to create menus that capture the excitement of a new year, while incorporating your restaurant’s style and branding. Once your design is complete, print the menus on high-quality paper or share them digitally to tease your event on your social media accounts.
