so we got married on 9.10.11. – aren’t we clever! in reality, we didn’t plan the day, but when we found the perfect venue and they had the date open, it all fell into place. and since we’ve been married for almost 4 months, i thought it was about high time i shared some of my labors of love from our day.
one of my favorite pieces was our seating card display. i knew i wanted something more than folded cards on a table but something that wouldn’t take up valuable real estate. plus, remember my RSVP mad lib postcards? i wanted to display those!
i loved the idea of using a pegboard and i knew it would be fairly cheap to do. we had some leftover paint from some other wedding projects, so i had ryan make it pretty! then i got to work creating a template with my silhouette to cover the clothespins. i used scrap paper in blues, greys, yellows, and hot pink to cover the pins.
the hardest part about the whole process, was figuring out how to align the clothespins so we could get all 108 seating cards on the board. but we got lucky, 9 rows of 12 pins = 108. PERFECT! this picture was snapped BEFORE the ceremony, i guess some people saw the seating card display and couldn’t wait until after the cocktail hour to find out where they were sitting.
halfway through the reception, we hung some RSVPs cards. we got some hilarious responses and i had to share them! even to this day, i still look at the RSVPs and laugh. do you see all those colors – we have some creative family & friends!
now the boards hangs in my home office and i use it to collect coupons, pictures, receipts, etc. but i still have the bride & groom tags on the board.
what kind of display did you do for your last wedding or event? would you have any interest in having something like this created for you?
I love that shade of blue/aqua — what paint did you use?
so fun! The color looks like my pantry and dresser/buffet thing. We didn’t have a seating arrangement for our wedding. In fact I had them add extra chairs so that people could table hop. I’m such a social butterfly I hate staying at one table for a wedding (and never do even when I’m supposed to). We had a cupcake cake and I put a lot of time into the cupcake display stand.
I love love love this idea! I’ve been meaning to email you. I was wondering if you’d be interested in making some save the date, etc cards for me. I LOVED the cards you made for your wedding. Email me! jmomiller@ gmail.com
I have a question about your peg board, how did you tell people which table to sit at? I love the idea, but I just don’t see the table numbers in there! Love the idea, gathering inspiration for mine :)
