Polaroid Photo Wall :
Create a photo wall with hanging strings or twine . Use mini clothespins to attach polaroid pictures of guests ( have an attendant snap a quick photo on the way in ), with their table numbers written on the back . Guests can find their photo and corresponding table .
Wine Bottle Labels :
Replace the labels on wine bottles with personalized labels that include guest names and table assignments . Use a matching number or wine display bottle on a table . These favors can share both your love of wine and be a take-away favor for your over 21 guests !
Travel-themed Departure Board :
Design a seating chart that resembles a flight departure board , listing guest names and table numbers as if they were destinations . This creative twist adds a sense of adventure and wanderlust to your wedding .
Seating Chart Tree :
Decorate a small potted tree or branches with hanging tags ( shaped like leaves ). Guests can pluck their card from the branches , revealing their table assignment . What better way to symbolize that everyone there is becoming part of a new family tree .
Library Card Catalog :
Book lovers might repurpose a vintage library card catalog and use the drawers as compartments for escort cards . Guests can " check out " their card to find their table assignment . Find an old fashioned stamp to adorn each one with your wedding date in the " due by " portion .
