If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember from this post that we are having food stations, instead of a formal, seated dinner or traditional buffet. Making signage for these tasty stations (can you say mac ’n’ cheese?!) has been on my to do list for a while now, and honestly, I figured if I didn’t get around to making them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. I would be the only person at the entire event who would even notice that they weren’t there. But Mrs. Sewing’s post about her food signs made me move this project a little higher on my to do list.
Using leftover supplies from our wedding invitations, I threw together these bad boys for the food stations:
A close-up…oh, yeah…
Mac ‘n’ cheese, baby!
To hold up the signs, I found these wire holders from Etsy seller saomi.

At only $6.00 for a pack of 10, I took my chances and ordered them. And they are totally going to work! Take a look:
It’s just a little detail that (I know) very few people will notice, but it was easy. Another thing crossed off my to do list!
What DIY items are on your would-be-nice-to-do but definitely-don’t-have-to-do list?
Those look great! I’m currently obsessed with mac n cheese so I’m very jealous of your guests.
Your awesome title made me want to keep reading this post. And now I am thoroughly hungry!
Wow those look so great! You’re inspiring me to make cool signs. And mac n cheese==yuuuummmmm.
I’m buying some of those wire stands right now! Those will work great for our table numbers! What a bargain!

Can you put the signs on the other side of the holder too? Pretty!
Your signs look great! Wish I would have seen this post before I purchased stands for our table names.
@neontl: Actually you can! The Etsy site mentioned that.
SO much better than everyone asking what everything is! Way to go, Hippo! They look perfect : )

Mrs. Hippo, New York City/Dallas, TX Age and Occupation: 34, Event Planner for a Non-Profit Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Finance IT Engagement Date: August 8, 2009 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: Samuel Lynne Galleries and Marc Events About Me: I’m a thirty-something bride living in New York City and planning a modern-ish wedding in Dallas, Texas. I love trashy reality television (Jersey Shore, anyone?), online shopping, Sunday brunch, Central Park, and random celebrity spottings on the streets of Manhattan. While I love NYC, I miss good Tex-Mex, my college friends, central A/C, and being in close proximity to a Target. I’m thrilled to finally be planning an event that’s not work-related and to be marrying my best friend in what I hope will be a unique and personal ceremony followed by a reception with plenty of good food, good drinks, and dancing (regardless if it’s good or not).
