    Mine are currently in production so I can't show them to you however they are photos of us at the age of the table number. For example: Table one will have a photo of each of us as one year olds. Table 5 will have a photo of us as 5 year olds, etc. Can't wait to get them in two weeks.

    Thanks. We're not doing tables 1-8, we decided to use number that coordinate with significant ages in our lives. So we're using Table 1, Table 3, Table 6, Table 11, Table 16, Table 18, Table 21 (Our college graduation photo), and Table 30. It works because we only have 8 tables. If you have 20 tables it's harder to do numbers out of order.

    Love this idea.  I am not doing table numbers because I am having a very, very small destination wedding.

    Lol!  I just printed these out last night after making a revision at TyBoyd's suggestion!!

    The paper it's printed on is left over from my DIY invitation kit from Michael's.  I purchased glass frames from the dollar store that I will put them in.

    I thought about ordering a cute design on etsy if the price was right and we decided to do a seating chart instead of escort cards. We decided early on that we were going to cut down expenses on stationary. When we met with our florist  she asked us what we were doing for table numbers and we told her we didn't know yet. She then pulled out cute little silver picture frames with table nubers that had a simple design at the bottom. She's throwing those in for us for free. I like them and they're free. You can prob. ask your venue/caterer/florist if they have table numbers you can use and more than likely they'll be free.

    i saw a suggestion on the knot or some other website, and I think im gonna try it. It stated that you and your fiance could have someone snap a picture of you two actually holding the table number. Then you just frame that picture and put it on your tables. Hope this helps! Its so creative!

    Thanks ladies - this thread has been a huge help!!! 

    @ Chescam - I never thought about that - I will have to ask the coordinator at my venue and see what she says

    @ Simbidi - that is so lovely - I love the paper!

    @ Tyboyd - love yours! You're right, they're very personal

    @ Wheatney - yours are very elegant!

    @ Japonica - that's a creative idea!

    I've thought about doing the word Love in a different language for each table, so it would be something like this:  (not a 100 percent on this idea yet :)
