Today in Jade and Ron’s Real Wedding Series, Jade gives us a step by step tutorial for creating monogrammed table numbers!

It’s fun to be creative with your table numbers! Since I was on a budget, I didn’t want to spend too much on my table numbers, so I printed mine at home and decided to make a fun project out of it.

Materials:

• 8 1/2×11 Cardstock
• Decorative Paper - buy textured paper—the texture adds some interest to your print. You can buy it at Hobby Lobby or any craft store.
• X-Acto knife
• Ruler
• Glue

I used a standard 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and laid my monogram and table number on it using Illustrator. You can use Photoshop, Word, or PowerPoint. Print it out and set it aside.

Use a ruler and slightly cut (not all the way through) where the dotted line is, and every 3.5 inches after the dotted line. Make sure you’re gentle with it. You don’t want to cut through it, but you just want to make a line so it’s easier to fold later.

Cut your decorative paper into 1.5 inch strips using a pair scissors or a X-Acto knife.

Use glue and glue your decorative paper where the pink stripes are. Wait for it to dry and then put some glue at the end at 1.5 inches, and glue those together.

Tip: I didn’t glue mine together until the day before the wedding since I wanted to save some space around my house and avoid damaging them.
