Re: Show me your...

  • We are using picture frames which will be set out on a table during the cocktail hour. Each couple will have 1 with their name and table assignment. Actually this was my mom's idea and I thought it was cute too!  Pic from the website where we ordered the frames below:


  • We are using a frame FI painted blue, I put purple ribbon on wire through it, and we are making vintage style escort cards.

    Luggage tag manilla style tags we bought at office depot,
    Making them look aged with distress ink (I don't like the whole tea dying thing)
    using a stamp on it to deocrate it
    replacing the string with blue ribbon

    Inspiration here --> Clicky 

    relatively cheap though it takes a little time

    I am doing the something similar as COS. I got two big frames, took out the glass and covered styrofoam poster board (forgot the real name of it). I covered that with quilt batting and fabric. I made my own vintage tags out of card stock with a paper cutter and some scrapbooking supplies.

    Here was my inspiration--- > http://theplungeproject.com/my-diy-picture-frame-escort-card-display

    Now just to start writing the names....

  • Paper cranes!  Deep purple, lavender, sky blue, white, or silver depending on entree choice.  Names &  table numbers written on the wings.

  • I'm also doing something similar to the first two girls, taking a large frame with wire across the back, and I made these clothespins to cold the escort cards, which will just be printed on cardstock.

    I bought a bunch of fake sand dollars and I'm going to attach the place cards to them and tie them with either a pink or green ribbon

    We're just doing regular tent fold cards- at this point I'm trying to keep things simple and easy. The hydrangea image is the image we used on our invites, and we're printing them on ivory linen cardstock that we used for the invites.

  • I'm only doing place cards. They will be made out of cookies. But, they will be in two shapes....Martha's Vineyard and a lighthouse.


    They'll be packed like this and I'm considering putting their name on the cookie. But I was going to make name tags and attach them with blue ribbon

  • I'm not doing cards, but a seating chart instead. Here's my inspiration. Now if the assignments would just make themselves....



  • I'm not doing escort cards either but I am doing a seating chart.. Here is what I've made
    I'm still adding names to it as I get rsvps back...

    YES!!  I LOVE our table numbers and table assignment cards!

    These are our table numbers...


    They'll lean against our centerpiece like this.....


    our escort cards look like this......


    and this is the board they'll be pinned to.....


    oh yeah, the family's name will be attached under the bicycle in the blank space... we just finished our seating chart so that's next on the list to do.
  • I'm doing a scanverger hunt type thing with different vintage floral patterns cut outs on ivory escort cards with clothes pin on string on frames. haha since it's hard to invision, here are my pictures but nothing is put together yet. =o)

    Inspiration:


    These are my frames:


    What mine is looking like but not done yet. The white long piece of paper will be a rustic twine and the names will be written in on top of the piece of flower paper.


    There's 16 different flower paper patterns and 16 tables. =o)
  • Mine's in my siggy. It's a bed of moss in a tray and we'll have wire curly Qs sticking out that will hold the escort cards. Fits our rustic-earthy theme and was surprisingly easy to make!

  • We are doing a seating scroll, we hired a local company to do it.  It'll look similar to this and we'll be able to keep it afterwards which is nice so we can remember everyone who came:
