Table plan idea - suggestions welcome :)

MrsLBtoB, 12 October, 2015 at 15:13 Posted on Planning 0 14

Hi Ladies,

I'm starting to think about how I'd like to present the table plan....

The top two at the moment are either a photo frame or mirror:

Both ideas below - what do people prefer or what are you all doing?? the 2nd pic is courtesy of google.

    We are thinking the same as you, either the photo frame or a mirror so will be interested to see what people think. Out of curiosity where is the picture frame in your post from?

    I love both and have seen pics on here of both used when this discussion came up once before. My personal choice would be the mirror. Depending on what sort of table number holders you intend to use on the table. I think someone is selling some on here actually if any good to you.

    Your frame holds 12. Someone also did it with table plans in some of the frames and pictures of the bride and groom together through the years in the spares. Was nice.

    Love the above picture frame idea - especially if it works out you have 10 tables (you could use the middle two as little verse holders) or 12 tables.

    I'm not sure I like the mirror idea - but the larger picture frame would be nice. I was thinking of buying a large picture frame, taking the plexiglass out and then sticking my table plan on it, like that on the mirror.

    That's just personal preference though I think!

    Thanks Smiley smile

    I think we are leaning towards the frame - We will have either 10 or 11 tables so should all fit in nicely.

    The Range also do a large frames with 15 or 18 spaces depending on how many tables you have and what you want to put in.

    I've seen some people use a space for the menu too!

    We had a mirror, but part of me wishes we'd gone for a frame. mirror is huge and we currently don't have the wall space for it.

    a frame would have been awesome as we'd have been able to fill it with wedding photo's after. i LOVE using things around the house which we actually AT the wedding and to fill it with pics would be even better!

    incidentally we have the black version of that frame and it looks superb!

    We have that frame from The Range for ours too, great choice Smiley smile What are you going to use to prop it up? I'm struggling to find an easel that will fit it without being too small or too big X

    Our venue has an easel I can borrow but I need to see what size it is as i cant remember, I'm going to my venues wedding show on 1st November so can have a look then Smiley smile

    Am getting more and more convinced on the frame now, especially for £9.99! Smiley smile

    One question though.... the individual photo sections are 6x4 - with the table names at the top, could i fit 10 names in too??

    Thanks to everyone! x

    Depends onwhat font & size you make the names. We are still experimenting with what font we want but size wise.its been fine for tables of 11 people.

    OOur venues easel is massive so we cant use it. I'll go through ebay tonight and see if there is anything there X

    Using something after the wedding within the house is such a good idea - and justifies the cost a little bit more.

    Thanks for the tip!
