Table plans - flash, you know you want to!

I have a couple of ideas in my planning folder that I shall flash Can't decide which one to do for myself yet..

Mine I beleive is actually "borrowed" from another Hitcher, so thank you whoever you are!

Its not so much rustic though....probably more vintage

Oooo Nat, I LOVE the luggage table plan!! Although I think that I may be using too many luggage tags already, Ive got them for the names on the table to be wrapped round the napkins and also on the wish tree.....

Hmmm you have got me thinking!

This:

With cards for each table (7), not pictures of small children. May weave flowers into it.

I am loving all of the above..

I'm just going traditional... but if you saw my post earlier today..!!

finally decided on table names... its the 5 cheeses in our "Cake" lol.. genius

Cheddar

Stilton

Caerphilly

Cornish Blue

White Nancy

Hiya

these are a few I've made, though they may not be 'rustic' enough for you! ?

the last 2 aren't finished plans, but you get the idea

This is what I was about to flash - it was in this months wedding ideas and looked FAB!

Found these too

Ooh, that's cool, I saw it severla months ago and didn't save the picture - will go out and have a look for the one above! I bought the heart board from Dunelm Mill, if you are interested.

Fabulous, thanks very much!

Brownie points to Jayned so far, he he!

Bonus points to Sher, too! Thanks!

I'm finding it an absolute bvgger to find nice 'old' suitcases. Grrrrr.

Nice old suitcases you say? There were some nice ones in a local antiques shop I went to a while ago. They said they can always keep an eye out if a customer asks for something they don't have in the shop.

I don't mind having another look for you?

That would be ace, thank you very much! I don't want to spend a fortune.

I don't think they would be very much. I was looking at some of their HOOGE vintage trunks and they were less than £50.

I love the flat wire birdcages! I had an idea of having cut out dove shapes to write the table plans on and then attaching them to the wire heart previously shown but we're already using the wire heart as our wish tree so a bird cage would be a great alternative. Do you know where I could get these?

I know this isn't remotely fitting with your theme, but it fits with mine lol - although I can't for the life of me decide if I like it or not??

Although this is quite nice

I love this idea, I was thinking of picture frames but not sure how to display them, I didn't think of a table!!?

Love the different frames idea that Helsbels posted and the pics BrideBrat posted too!!

CB - you can always get vintage suitcases in Camden Market. The inside bit.

Never really sure about the point of table plans - we aren't having a formal sit down meal (it's a barbecue) so those that are on the top table know it; why can't everyone else decide who they sit at a table with? They are adults, aren't they?

In your case AJ you might not see the benefit of a table plan.

We wanted our tables to be as equal in numbers as possible and I know if I left it to people then that wouldn't happen. It also helps the venue staff as they have to set out a certain numbers of places on each table, know where the dietary requirements are etc etc

The lovely

Kat44, where is that pretty tree from? I like it!

Hi, can you let me know where you found the photo at the top - the one with the cream panels with the table names pegged onto string? I LOVE this look and want to try and find out where the panels are from!!

Thanks!

Can't flash, but me and my sister are making peg people! Old fashioned wooden pegs that we will 'peg' onto the tables on the card (the tables will be 3d) and the person can keep their peg as it will be a likeness to them (yellow wool hair, etc)! ?

Hi, only just saw this. It's from here
