Wedding Forum - Making a table plan - what size?...

Hey

Making my table plan is on my list of jobs to do today, so as you can see I have decided to leave it until a bit later to make sure that the guest list is as final as possible and also to try and prevent any damage. I am going to try to do it so that it roughly mirrors they lay out of the room, but if that's difficult don't think it'll be the end of the word if it doesn't, as the tables will all have names or numbers anyway. I'm printing out individual pieces of card for each table and am not worrying about order I list names in for each table.

I was wondering how to do it and found that some stationers sell A3 size foam boards, and then I found some wrapping paper that matches the bridesmaid's dresses (pale green with cream polka dots!) so am going to put that over the board and then print on cream card with a black border for each table and stick that over the wrapping paper....hope that helps! xx

hmm yeah i think as late as possible is best all things considered im not sure about mine as im not a crafty kind of person really so i thought of getting one of those wire heart memo board thingys (hope you know what i mean ) and just getting the bits printed on bay of e and sticking them in the parts provided but not sure yet xx

Well we're gonna go get the stuff on the weekend so I guess I'll give it a go then but maybe leave the name printing till later.x

We finished our with about 2 weeks to go. We did have some last minute changes, but we didn't do it all again, just told the people concerned what the changes were xx

OK so I have decided what I want but I don't know how big it should be. We only have 8 tables and when I looked at A1 paper today it just looked absolutely massive. What size are they usually? I was thinking A2 but couldn't find anything that size.

Was just wondering if A3 looked a bit titchy on a big easel in a big venue but then I suppose a massive board with loads of space will look just as silly.x
