To Take a Seat

Wowwwweee, my last post was a MONTH ago. Quick word of warning: you always think you cannot be busier than you are while wedding planning. Untrue. After the wedding ends, expect an avalanche of stuff you were forgiven for not doing due to wedding planning. Anyway, a long way of saying - I am getting back into recap mode.

One of my favorite DIY projects for the wedding were my origami escort cards. In our last installment, these babies were oddly escort-card-less. Well, thanks to Mr. BG and MIL BG’s hard work in the days before the wedding, MOST people were able to find their seats. :)
We set up the flowers in vases sorted alphabetically by last name. Because our table numbers were years that were in no sequential order, we also set up a sign with a table layout explaining where to find their table and what to do with their escort card once they got there (and there maaaaaay have been a threatening note about not eating the bride’s food).

Here’s how the setup turned out:

Welcome back Mrs. Bubblegum! I’ve been waiting for your recap, and the wait was worth it — I love seeing how those gorgeous flowers turned out.

So happy you posted your recap! I followed your lead and made the origami escort cards too. I ended up making leaves to hold the names and table assignments. You can see mine here:

What were they supposed to do with the card once they got to their table? Just curious.

MissRuffles, those are amaaazing! I love that PAPER! And uh, the color-coded leaves are genius. That would’ve been soooo much better. Dag, now you tell me. :)

rzblna, oh, you know, “Pick up escort card. Place at seat.” or something insanely obvious - but basically just telling them to leave it out so that the waiters could identify their meal choice.

Thanks Mrs Bubblegum. You deserve all credit because I never would have attempted them without your example.
