This weekend I caught wedding-crafting fever. With the help of my awesome MOH, I finished the table numbers and the seating chart in record time.
I wanted to utilize our engagement pictures as our table numbers but had no idea on how to edit them in. Lil Boa worked some Photoshop magic to attach the table numbers to each of the pictures and created JPEG images of the seating lists. We printed the table numbers, the I Spy sheet, and the seating lists as photos at Walgreens.

I used a simple plastic frame to display the the number and the I Spy.
Final product
For the seating chart, I was originally inspired by this beauty.

We had no luck finding a frame that was big enough to hold all our seating lists, but a little brainstorming found us a great alternative. We will be taping the ribbon, floor to ceiling, to one of glass walls that sits right at the top of the venue’s stairs. The seating lists were backed by leftover Violette card stock from the invitations and hot glued to the ribbons.
What DIY projects did you finish at the last minute?
your table numbers are super cute!!! That was such a clever use of the engagement photos!!!
The seating chart ribbons are going to look so great against glass!
Your table numbers are adorable! Love how your last minute projects are coming together 
Very nice! I love it when one gets to incorporate wedding colors & leftovers for new projects…
It’s great you were able to find a space for the seating chart. I’m thinking of doing ours in a frame too. The frames for your table numbers are great – they really make the cute photos the focus! x
I LOVE your inspiration photo for the seating chart. Those frames are hard to find! I saw one at a thrift store the other day for $175. Expensive! Excited to see pictures of how the ribbons look taped up, during your recaps!
This is such a beautiful and unique idea! And I’m really excited to see it come together at your wedding. I think it will be gorgeous!
Love it! Your table numbers are so cute! And I love your seating chart. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
The table numbers are awesome, I think I’d take it home if I were a guest.
I love the seat assignments. Much less effort than what I’m currently working on.
Your table numbers are a great idea! They look awesome. So does the seating chart! I am looking forward to seeing what they look like on your wedding day!!
I love, love, love your seating chart!!! That is such a great idea!! No need for escort cards, just find your name and sit.
Love the seating chart ribbon. That’s going to look so great hanging from the glass wall!
I also love the table number ideas! We want to use our engagement photos as well, this was a super awesome way to do it.
Please tell me more about the I SPY part very cute idea!
