5 Creative Table Number Ideas!
Arranging seating at a wedding is one of the most dreaded tasks on the wedding planning itinerary, and it's easy to understand why. Family drama. Friend drama. Trying to not make anyone feel left out. It is quite an undertaking. And while table numbers will not solve any of those problems for you, they will help make the seating process a little more fun, and a lot nicer to look at. Here are a few do-it-yourself ideas to make unique, easy and affordable table numbers for your wedding. 1. Paper Fortune Tellers Remember making these in grade-school? Fortunetellers a fun, functional, and relatively simple and cheap to make! Use big sheets of paper, colored pens or pencils, and customize each one to make them unique. If you have the time and energy, it would be wonderful to create a paper fortuneteller for each individual guest. Customize these with personalized notes inside, and decorate the outside with personal touches (gemstones, anyone?) These can double-up as take-home gifts, ensuring that your guests have something to remind them of your big day forever. 2. Painted On Seashells Though this undoubtedly works best with beach-themed weddings, having seashells as a an accent isn't terribly out of place, if it's done well and customized to fit the vibe of your wedding overall. Buying seashells online is surprisingly easy and cheap. Once the seashells arrive, sort through the assortment of shells and select whatever you feel would suit your guests and wedding the best. Take these and place them on a sheet of newspaper and paint a number on each one. Make sure you paint a few of each number, just to be on the safe side. An alternative to this, is having each table's center piece be either a certain type of shell (i.e instead of calling a table “number five”, it would be called the “Cowrie Table”) or buying packages of bigger shells and placing the number of each table within the centerpiece (i.e table seven, would have seven shells). This could be too complex for some weddings, but it would be lovely and unique in the right setting 3. Block Numbers These wooden numbers are available at most craft stores. To make them wedding-worthy, buy some spray paint in your wedding colors (or silver or matte gold if you're worrying about being to matchy) from a hardware store. Lay newspaper out on a flat surface (your driveway or somewhere outdoors is preferred) and spend an afternoon painting them. Make sure you let the first side dry fully before carefully flipping them over and spraying the other side. Be sure to coat each piece a few times for the best results. 4. Painted Birdhouses This idea is unique, and allows you a lot of creative options. You can use simple wooden birdhouses from a craft store and paint the numbers on the back. Or you can devote more effort and resources to creating a custom beautiful birdhouse for each table. These can also double-up as centerpieces. 5. Jars & Bottles This option is great for a more vintage-themed wedding. You can often find bottles or mason jars at antique shops and garage sales. Once you find the right amount, paint numbers directly on the bottles, or roll up worn-looking pieces of paper or cloth with the numbers on them. This option is very easily customized to your wedding theme and personality; and can also be used as part of your centerpiece.
