Ways to Make it Personal

There are many ways to make it personal when planning your wedding. One way that my husband and I made it personal was by naming our tables after places of importance between us. Then when we laid out the tables, we put them in the order of when they occurred in our relationship. On the back of each card we put a short story about why it was important to us. For example, we met at Old Sturbridge Village on a cold January day. Our first table was named Old Sturbridge Village and we put a story on the back (just a few sentences) of our first date there. Our last table was Fenway Park where we got engaged. I then created a map for our guests so they could find their table, this was displayed by the place cards. Our guests really enjoyed this touch, some even told us they went around to each table to read them all. For those people who did not know us very well; they felt after the wedding that they did know us and that we shared our lives and love with them

Here is the website I used to order my table tents and they have a free template for making them: http://www.mcgpaper.com/tabletent.html.

They were cheap and easy to do and really made an impression on our guests.
