Well we’re at that point where we’ve finalized our seating chart, and things are really falling into place! I’ve been a little MIA lately, but have every intention to show you what I’ve been working on. First off, I’ll show you our place cards and table numbers. We fooled around with the idea of using “love” or “I love you” in different languages, and here’s what we got:

And for a little close-up action, here are our choices. We used our engagement photos from Girls With Big Cameras as a background, so be prepared for some lovey dovey crap. I had them printed at a local camera shop and taped two pictures back to back on some leftover antique gold cardstock.

Now, some of these languages didn’t exactly fit the typical “romance languages” we had originally thought about, but we picked the ones that were relatively easy for people to identify and pronounce.

We’ll be sitting here!

My dad’s side of the family will be traveling from Minnesota and to honor their Swedish heritage, we’ll sit them at this table:

We’ll sit Champ’s Irish side of the family here:

And for the Italian folks (his dad’s side of the family):

When our guests arrive, they’ll find their table number on a CD place card. I Goccoed them with the same monogram that we used on our invitations and actually used the same belly band on our CDs that were on the invites.

Using Mrs. Tiramisu’s 1-inch round paper cutter, I was able to send these to our calligrapher. I attached the table name to the back of the CD.

Okay, I don’t know what’s wrong with my camera skills but I couldn’t get a clear picture without a flash, so sorry about the blurry picture.

What sort of place cards are you using?
