Marco and I both like to travel and have been on quite a few trips together. To represent our wanderlust I decided that I would give our reception tables place names instead of numbers.
I made a list of places that we had been together or would like to visit, of cities and countries that meant something to us.
I then googled for images of vintage travel posters for all the locations, which I printed out and inserted into these cool retro
Tolsby frames that I got from IKEA. I bought them for £0.99 each, which I thought was an absolute steal.
I made a table plan for our guests by listing their names alphabetically together with their "destination" for the evening. In the picture below you can see that each table is represented by a little circular map of its location. I fixed everything on a foam display board that I bought at Paperchase and placed it on an easel by the entrance to the function room.

what an AWESOME idea. i just love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christy - great idea and it looks fantastic. I've just scrolled back through your Wedding posts and love how you managed to have a bilingual wedding. Interested to know how the speeches went and whether they were in english or german?
ReplyDeletethat is a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWe used these same frames for the menus at our reception! So cheap and handy, with the double sides. :)
