Your big day is fast approaching and every element in your décor has been customized to reflect you…except your table numbers! A creation by our western counterparts, table numbers and the order they provide are slowly finding their way into the country. Although table numbers play a major role in letting people know where to sit and keeping everything organized, they do not add to the décor, but instead have quite the opposite effect. Here’s how you can turn practical to pretty with a little ribbon, lace and fun!
The first step is to get your table chart ready. It is important that you have a clear idea of where everyone is sitting (your nani and dadi -up front and centre; that annoying neighbour who talks to much – right at the back 😉 ). This is will also help give you a clear idea of how many tables you will require.
Second, at the venue, place a seating chart at the entrance to let your guests know where exactly they will be seated.
Finally, ensure each table has a number to help guests locate their seats. There are number of innovative ways to customize your table numbers to blend in or enhance the decor.
