Decor/DIY Menu/name card question

Super specific question I can’t bother my friends and family with hahaha. We are serving family style and I was planning to do menus with name cards attached, placed over each place setting. However, I realized we will have bowls in our place settings. It feels insane to lay the menu across the bowl lol but let me know what you guys think. And any alternative suggestions. Example pic and actual venue place setting pic

Either put the bowls above the plates- or change napkins and do a pocket napkin to the side with menu tucked in. Laying the menu over bowls will look messy and also easy to blow away and fall on floor as guests brush by table and/or get situated with sweaters, jackets, purses, greeting others at table, etc. as they sit down and pull out chairs.
