CURSE OF THE QUORA DIAMOND: HOME HOSTING TIPS, PART 7 – DIY MENUS THAT ELEVATE THE SCENE

A well-designed menu doesn’t just tell your guests what they’re drinking—it sets the tone. Whether placed at the bar, buffet, or each guest’s seat, a themed menu adds elegance and immersion to Duke Beecham’s birthday celebration.

🎩 Make It Feel 1920s Aristocratic:
Use cardstock in cream, ivory, or pale grey. Accent with black, gold, or navy ink. Choose art deco-inspired fonts like “Metropolis” or “Cinzel Decorative” (free on Canva or Google Fonts).

🖋️ Give the Menu a Name:

The Duke’s Birthday Supper

Tonight’s Indulgences

Refreshments & Revelations

Libations & Lies

📋 How to Make One Easily:

Use Canva, Microsoft Word, or even Google Docs with an art deco template.

Create sections like Cocktails, Savories, Sweets, or Suspicious Selections.

Include your themed names (like Murder in the Manor, Quora Crumbs, or Lady Beecham’s Blush).

Add a subtle design element: a diamond silhouette, a monocle, or a vintage border.

Print at home or your local print shop—bonus points for using textured or linen paper.

📎 Display Ideas:

One large menu in a vintage frame on the bar or buffet table

Mini menus at each place setting with a wax seal or gold paperclip

Rolled into scrolls and tied with black ribbon for an extra theatrical touch

This one simple detail makes your party feel curated, thoughtful, and completely on theme.

Your home becomes the manor—mystery included.
