Help with how to display table plan please ladies!

I got my mirror from Aldi for a really good price. Might be worth looking around places like Dunelm Mill, Wilkinsons etc. I've seen easels for about £12.

The metal table number holders tend to be quite expensive. I think album covers sound great so I would pop them in nice big frames. Again, you should be able to pick these up cheaply from the types of shops mentioned above. Make sure you buy frames that are able to stand up, rather than wall ones obviously!

Thanks! Thats a rather cracking idea. I am always mooching around Dunelm Mill and Wilkos so I dont know why I didn't think of this. Making this my mission for the weekend. x

LOVING this idea!!! Ever though of simple photo frames to display the cd covers in?

Hope I've helped ?

Hi Future Mrs H (From another future Mrs H x)

You have definitely helped. I think that chalk board is great, do you know where I would get something like that? I also love your centrepieces.

I am loving the ideas of picture frames so I am going to go and look for some this weekend. x

What sort of budget you looking at? It's a smidge expensive but you could always sell it after the wedding. http://www.t2interiors.co.uk/shop/products/butchers-food-retail/butchers-food-retail-units/a-frame-chalkboard-large/

Not on the highstreet have some as well

Or, if you like the chalkboard idea, it might be cheaper to still buy an easel and get a flat chalkboard.

I haven't really got a budget for this to be honest. As cheap as possible really cus everything is mounting up so much. I will have a look today on interweb and then drag my Mom out mooching tomorrow, she's pretty good at the creative stuff.

Thanks x

Hi PaintedHales

I've designed and made quite a few music themed table plans including festival style posters but also the 2 below if you wanted something different.

The first one was constructed in such a way that the record could actually be spun so you could easily find your name, but the "label" in the centre remained static head on.

The second one had actual vinyl discs as table names.

If you're going down the DIY route, perhaps you could source some old 45 vinyl records and make labels for the centres with the guests names listed and just arrange them nicely in a frame or canvas. I'm not sure how the marquee is constructed but could a canvas possibly be hung from a strut with very thick ribbon?

Good luck - let us know how you get on

Absolutely fabulous as always Suzanne.

Oh bless you, Kharv thank you x ?

I got mine from the Range for £5..they do lots of nice weddingy bits there actually so its worth a browse

I did each table in it's own cheap mirrored photo frame. on the tables I just made tent cards with no holder.

Prettywild - what can I say - Those table plans are absolutely stunning! I have also had a look on your website and the invitations are just beautiful! This is another thing we havent quite sorted and need to do so asap!

We didn't budget much for invitations and we need 60 day time ones and 20 evening ones as well as RSVPs which we notice you usually have to buy seperately. Do you know how much this would typically cost with a table plan and table names etc so I can show to H2B? Sorry if this is a daft thing to ask as you probably need more info but I have no idea about stationary and it was the area of the budget we just guessed.

Prettywild is the expert !!

Thanks for all your help by the way everyone. I will definitely let you know how I get on. I might work out how to put pictures on here one day so I can show you what I have found so far. I also have to sort flowers this weekend I am no longer counting down to the wedding - I am counting down to the end of the bloody planning!

I love those band logos. Anyone know what sort of places do printing or where you get those metal holder things from? Sorry - I literally dont know anything!

I have got some great ideas now though thanks to you lot and can go through them all with the boy and he can pretend to care

Aww thank you PaintedHales.

I'm not sure if your question about invitations etc was a general one to all or in reply to me, but I'm always happy to discuss some ideas and answer any queries if you wanted to email me at *********@**********.**.**, as there are all sorts of options and possibilities

hope that helps
