In conjunction with our personalized menus I wanted to create a seating chart to let our guests know which table they would be sitting at.

You may remember that we decided to letter our tables instead of numbering them and we spelled out “Me & You.” We had a friend take pictures of us holding the letters that would be a part of the table centerpieces.

I also had a frame that I had purchased from Pottery Barn years ago. I had originally wanted to peel the labels off of wine bottles and put them in a frame. When I found the peeling of labels trickier than expected the frame sat sad and unfinished for five years.

Finally I had a new purpose for it!

I trimmed the photos and glued them on the same purple card stock I used for our menus. Time to check for layout and placement!

I glued them on to a new piece of thick card stock backing. I then handwrote everyone’s names under the lettered table that they would be sitting at.

Here is the seating chart on display at our wedding:

It was another really simple project, but it really tied all of the elements of our tables together. From our milk glass, our centerpiece photos…
