DIY Table Numbers

August 21st, 2008 @ 3:45 pm by Mrs. Lovebird

It was all because of Weddingbee that I caught the DIY bug. I must give it up to my fellow bees as they have countlessly inspired and motivated me to add a personal touch to as many wedding projects as time and my abilities allowed.

I wanted to name the tables after Chinese teas because there are so many unique names (Iron Goddess, Monkey King, Jade Dew, Red Robe, Dragon Well, Buddah’s Hand… neat-o, right?), but the mister was insistent on doing something that relates to us like names of places we’ve traveled, as he has seen at other weddings. While I love that he cares for the personal touch, I really wanted something we could build a theme upon. After much hair pulling, I finally came up with a compromise that makes us both happy.
