Wow, where has time gone?! I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we booked the bandstand and started planning our special day. It’s now only 8 weeks left and it’s time to get a wriggle on. This week I’ve been making place cards.
With such a beautiful reception venue – there’s carousel horses hanging from the ceiling and a carousel themed bar in the middle of the room – I want to keep the decorations quite simple and came across this cute idea for our place cards on Pinterest.
All you need is following:
- Ink pad
- Letter stamps
- Blank business cards
- Multi coloured mini pegs
From here it’s a very simple affair. Stamp the names of your guests and leave to dry.
I would recommend getting a waterproof permanent ink pad to make sure the ink dries and doesn’t smudge. (I learnt this the hard way after making ALL place cards with normal ink and they were still smudging a week later)
Clip your place cards to the glasses on the table with chosen mini pegs and voila…you’re done!
