Not too long ago, reception tables were identified with big black numbers on white cards. The look was plain, simple and, well, a bit boring until brides decided to personalize their weddings and make a unique statement with each detail, including the table cards. Now, you’ll see reception tables bearing the names of cities and places that have a special meaning to the couple. Or they might be named after the couples’ favorite bands, composers, movies or even food.
Recently, I came across a genius table card that was created by Leslye Wood for her own son’s wedding. Her “Love Letters” consist of 26 cards, one for each letter of the alphabet, and each card features six words about love and marriage. ($125 plus shipping for 26 cards). You can, of course, personalize with custom words that have a special meaning to you as a couple.
The cards look fantastic on the reception tables and will probably inspire guests to come up with more pithy words of their own.
And if you don’t have 26 tables at your reception, display the rest of the cards on the guest book table or bar:
Or group them together on a side table:
These chic Love Letters are also perfect for engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. And after all of the festivities are over, you can display them in your home:
Whether the cards are placed inside your home or outdoors,
(cute puppy not included!), one thing is certain: They are truly words to live by and will forever be a sweet reminder of your special day.
