Ok so i've just seen a post about table plans and it got me thinking it is something im going to be designing myself ... that bit should be no problem but what do you put it on thats big enough..cardboard, wood, plastic??? do you just buy it or get it made and where from??? any help or suggestions would be great cause this is something i could be getting on with .. even i just dont put the guests on yet.. Thankyou xx
looking forward to being Mrs Embo :)

I got a big piece on very very thick black card from Hobby Craft to make a big memory board for my friends hen party. It was massive. Can't remember how much it was though as it was 2 years ago.

i just went to craft of the hobby and bought an A1 foam board for £3.99 and stuck my bits and pieces on there, i've since changed my plans and had to go back to get another one which was £10 as the budget £3.99 ones were out of stock, i'm then just getting the plan printed by staples and just gunna stick it on the foam board

The other alternative is the range, i bought A0 mount boards for £3 each for mounting my final pieces of photography work on, they do them in a range of colours to suit your theme too.

CommentAuthorbridalmiss
I didn't want a massive table plan, as I figured we'd never use it again - so we got some wired twigs and flowers from a flower shop and put them in a vase, hanging our tables from the branches on cards - I thought it looked fab and lots of ppl commented on it at the wedding! :-)
Plus if you have any last minute changes to the guests coming, it's a lot easier to change the individual cards rather than a massive plan - the cards were just normal cream paper stuck to card rectangles, we used a hole puncher to make the holes then threaded ribbon through..
