We’re Off! And Other Last Minute Details

Well, one of us is off. The car is packed and I’ll be making my way back to the UP tonight after work! My fiance (that’s one of the last times I’ll get to say that word) will be staying for one more night and coming up on Wednesday after work. The rest of the week will be filled with the projects I couldn’t do from afar, mainly packaging the favors and putting together the OOT bags, final meetings with a few vendors, etc. The decorating at the reception site begins tomorrow as well, so I’ll be checking in now and then to see the progress. Maybe I’ll even post the progress if I have time (keyword: IF)!

Until then, I’ll leave you with a picture of the last project I finished yesterday: the escort card display! Sorry for the terrible picture, but the cameras are already packed so I had to resort to using my phone. The escort cards are finished as well, and they will hang from the ribbons going across the board. Thank you to the lovely Mrs. Quiche for the last minute inspiration and escort card cutting assistance!

If you are thinking, ‘that is one huge escort card board,’ you are right…

It’s 4’x6’. Remember, it has to fit about 325 cards on it! I just hope people can reach the top and bottom rows!

I’m curious, if you had a large wedding, how did you display all the cards? I’m thinking a table would be much more practical for so many escort cards!

325 is a lot of guests! I would’ve done it 4′ high and 6′ across to make sure people can reach the top…

We had to make ours big too, but only for about 200 guests. Hope I can describe this - I used two ribbons, one wide and one narrow, on top of the wide. I used vertical stitches the height of the narrow ribbon about 3″ apart, and will stick each card between the two ribbons. I madespace for 20 cards per row, but it is really wide! I left a couple feet of loose ribbon at each end, I’m planning to tie that to posts at either end and hope that the extra ribbon will blow in the breeze. Phew! I am thinking about posting it in the DIY section, but we’ll see when it all comes together. I was wondering how people get so many cards displayed!

I’m planning to do the ribbon board for my escort cards too! We won’t have nearly as many so I bought some frames to put them in. I’m also planning to do one escort card per couple, are you doing one per person or do you have 600 guests?
