Reservation for One

by onewhitedress on 23/06/10 at 1:56 pm

Seating cards… Rows of parallel names, sitting and waiting for their owner to collect. Efficient and stylish, they are an easy way to show your guests to their seats. But why not take the idea up a notch and incorporate your theme with a little personality.

From suspended cards, pegged on hanging lines, flickering in the wind, to individual horseshoe paperweights, tied to their own tag, there’s simply no need to be dull. Gone are the days of cardboard a-cards lined up in rows and printed seating charts as we beckon the era of fun and personalised variations. I love the idea of polished sea-shells for a beach affair or the simple and affordable use of mini drink umbrellas for a tropical fiesta. If your really tight on the budget, you could even try printed paper airplanes to bring out the mischievous innocent in all of us.

Much more than decoration, but rather a tried and true way to ensure guests remember those little finishing touches that made your day so unique. After all, does it come any more personal than a reservation for one? ♥
