Practical & Pretty Paper Goods
I’m a big fan of using interesting and unique ways to display seating cards and table numbers. Table numbers in particular are one detail that I think really needs to be thought through. There is no easier way to detract from a beautiful table than using a utilitarian and boring table number holder.
Wine bottle numbers are both pretty and practical. I love details that do double duty.
The seating cards don’t have to be individualized per guest, instead you could use a rustic chart. It’s a great way to save paper, time, and it can be an easy way to add a dash of style as your guests enter the reception.
If you do prefer the individual seating cards, I like to use calligraphy envelopes with the guest name on it and then I tuck the table number inside. This way, last minute seating changes can be accommodated with ease. Tucked onto a flat of grass, this presentation is perfect for a spring wedding.
Its not always necessary to have a place card (must couples just assign their guests per table) but in certain cases, particularly a formal event or if you’re seating guests at one long table of 20, than I highly recommend place cards. I love the simplicity of this option.
For a fall wedding this would be such a cute detail.
Feathers, rocks and sea shells are other great objects that can really bring together your whole wedding design.
