What did you do for Table Numbers?

Hey ladies

I'm wanting to DIY my table numbers. I don't want just the basic 1,2,3 - so I'm trying to think of ideas that will match my wedding theme - A masquerade ball. Now, I'm going more gothic masquerade (which is why I love this board!) than say POTO or mardi gras. I'm getting married next Halloween. Do you have any suggestions or ideas that would be cool?

TIA!

We just used regular numbers in a fun font, framed in small silver dollar store frames. I would look for fonts on dafont.com. You could also print the number on top of a shadowed mask. You could also set up a hand held mask at each table and dangle the number from it. There are so many ideas. Good luck!

The dangling number idea is great! Thanks!

I'm making my numbers extremely personal.

The table names are song lyrics, then it lists the bands we saw, where we saw them, when we saw them and a little story. Those are some examples above of one of the tables and the head table. I actually used the CBGB font from dafonts.com. I'm going to layer the numbers on top of sheet music and attach them together with red and black ribbon. (and my fiance being the awesome welder he is, is making steel music stands to put them on. He made a prototype to show me, and it's amazing! I'm so excited!) I figure this way the little stories are conversation starters so we have things to talk about with the guests.

We bought these black table numbers from Michaels.  We got baby pumpkins and cut a slit in the stems to fit the table numbers into.  Then we stretched some fake cobwebs around the whole thing.  The centerpiece setup in in the pic below... it was the end of the night, so some of the candles and pieces had already been swiped, but you can see this was table 4.
