I get that this is pretty much beating a dead horse at this point…but I thought I’d share the individual photos of each table number, in the off chance that you wanted to do this yourselves and wanted to see a reference!

If you’re on the fence AT ALL about this, here’s my obvious answer:

DO. IT. And that means those of you who already know how to embroider but aren’t sure if it’s worth it. This is NOT towards those of you who would have to learn a new skill just for this project. Because if I sit here and tell you to go do that, someone’s going to slap me in the face. And that someone will probably be, um, every reader here.

There will be people who don’t understand why you would take on a seemingly pointless project. After all, there are lots of people who just have them printed simply, on a single sheet of paper, which is absolutely and perfectly lovely. There will be others who say that the flowers should be the true focus and not the numbers.

The reason why I would encourage you to do something like this is because I am absolutely and utterly bonkers. But also because there will be a million little beautiful details that no one ever notices. When your plate is full of things that must get done before your big day, it can be disheartening when nobody notices some of your hard work. If there’s one thing people will notice, it will be the giant, hand embroidered table numbers. And when they do. Homies, it will make you feel ahmaaaaaayzing.

About those naysayers? That’s just because they don’t see how it could all work together. Every little detail worked together with the numbers. With these guys being 10 inches in diameter, they became so significant within the tablescape that it was completely and utterly worth it. I did them in royal blue but keep in mind that if you’re doing a candlelit space in the evening, they will appear much darker, almost navy sometimes.
