Table Name Cards

I didn't want to be plain and boring and just number the tables, so our tables are going to be named after places we've traveled to together. We've been on two cruises together so that helped give us enough names for all the tables.

I designed each card in Photoshop with the location name, a photo of us at that location, and our monogram. I'll print them on cardstock or 5x7 photo paper. Then I'll print our menu on another piece of cardstock (or 5x7 photo paper) and put it behind the table name card.

I'm using chrome plated table number holders to place them on the tables. I found a bride on Craigslist who was selling 18 for $15. Score.

Monogram

I made it using Photoshop. The fonts I used were Brock Script (the "N" and "June 25, 2011") and Book Antiqua ("Chelsea and Brad").

I downloaded Brock Script from www.dafont.com. I can't remember where I downloaded Book Antiqua from, but if you google it you can find a site where you can download it for free.

I used the following tutorial to create my monogram: http://weddingmonograms.blogspot.com/2008/03/letter-behind-monogram-tutorial.html.

The blogger, Brianna Nichole, has some great tutorials. I also love her font bio: http://danandbrianna.com/bio_bio/font%20bio.html.

Random tidbit: Once I got the colors I wanted for the monogram I wrote down the color codes. This has helped me maintain the exact colors for other projects when possible.

Happy monogram making! :)
