Creating your own table plan can be lots of fun and it adds a personal touch to your day. Luck & Luck have a range of alternative ideas for table plans from large metal hearts to floral suitcases. Here they show you how to make your very own vintage-style table plan, perfect for an elegant retro theme…
What you will need
- A vintage style photo frame (glass removed)
- A 3m reel of ribbon to match your colour or theme.
- A set of luggage tags – one for each number of tables
- A hanging wedding sign
- A piece of paper and a printer
- Scissors and glue
How to make your vintage-style table plan
Print your guest names onto an A4 sheet of paper and cut each table to size. Choose a font that fits your theme. Then you can glue these onto your luggage tags.
Select a ribbon to match your theme or colour scheme. Round off the end with a pair of scissors and then fold over the end of the ribbon approximately 2-3 cm and make a small cut in the ribbon. Secure this onto the top hook of the frame.
Cut the ribbon to the length of the frame and fix into place with a strong glue or staple in place.
To fix the luggage labels to the ribbon, glue a strip down the luggage tag and secure to the ribbon to keep it flat and in place.
Secure your Mr & Mrs sign or To Have To Hold sign on the hooks and hang in place for your guests to admire!
