Place Cards

Don´t know if you´ll be going as far as seating cards but if you do this is a really cute idea! I could easily do it! Got this idea from the Style me Pretty website. My friend sarah gave me all these links for bridezilla websites and I´ve added them to your links part on the left. Check them out.

Scour clip-art sites for some images of birds and blossoms that you love, them have them made into a rubber stamp.
-Pick up a small variety of
ink pads from your local craft store or online (try to find colors that are more sophisticated like chocolate, rose, mano and a great green).
-There are some great papers from
Paper Source that could be used for this project. They carry the pre-converted seating cards either in a tented style or flat, with a mini-envelope.
-Try to come up with 5-10 different patterns with your stamps, then repeat that same composition a few times. This way, your cards will look random but not completely chaotic.
-When stamping, place a piece of paper under the paper so that you can allow the stamped image to run off the edge a bit.
Of course, you are certainly not limited to birds and blossoms. The options for these are really endless...your stamp could be something as simple as a calligraphied word reading "love" or "peace." or it could be a series of intricate patterns and prints, custom silhouettes, anything really! Scour
