So, in my last post, I showed you the table/place cards that almost were. Sadly I had to leave that project in the dust due to time, but decided that our “Reserved” signs had to be rockin’! As usual, I turned to my handy MS Word to create a template.

I was trying to explain the project to Mr. AC. I said, “imagine a “Reserved” sign that is printed on our wood grain paper and has a bird sitting on top.” He didn’t get it, so I drew this little sketch to show him.

He loved it, so I got to work.

I thought about it for a little while and thought, ‘If I print on a whole sheet of the paper but place the bird on the top line (the fold line), I can use my X-Acto knife and cut the bird out. There will be an opening (backwards bird) on the backside, but that can face the centerpiece, and no one will see it.’

I did a test, and IT WORKED!!! I was so happy.

(You can really see the wood grain in this picture!)

I decided to print 8 total, and I think they look really good. It was a very simple project. I used the Albemarle Swash free font for the “Reserved” text.

How are you marking off special seats for your family and BP members?
