Hi all,
I wanted to share my favorite DIY from our wedding – our acrylic seating chart!
This was placed on a large butlers station at our venue during cocktail hour, with floating candles and greenery behind it. I clearly loved it!
Here’s the inspo pic:
And here’s some pics of my DIY in action:
How I did it:
Since we had 150 people and twelve tables (with 10-20 people depending on the table) I ordered guest names alphabetically. To do this I typed names in Microsoft word, and put them in alphabetical order. Since the acrylic sheets were 12x12 I knew I would use one printed sheet of paper for each acrylic sheet. It’s not challenging, we just had a TON of H’s since MILs maiden name started with an H, and my last name/ dad’s last name was an H, so I had to figure out where to cut off and start a new page. After printing the names I placed the acrylic on top of each printed paper, and traced away with a white paint pen. It was SUPER easy! The stands I purchased from etsy.
Side note, you can test the ability to remove the paint pen by using nail polish remover in a small corner. We had an incident where someone forgot their dates name and we had to change it. I actually found this funny. How??? Hah.
