Last weekend my fiance and I had an appointment with our florist and day of coordinator to go over the look and ideas we wanted for bouquets, boutonierres, centerpieces and place settings. While there our florist mentioned that she wants to incorporate, in a small way, the fact of my fiance having served in the Marine Corp., especially since he decided he wasn't going to wear his dress blues for our wedding.
It was suggested that instead of doing the regular table #s, we could name the tables after wars/battles and/or battleships involving the Marine Corp, in which my fiance and I absolutely loved the idea of. The problem we are now having is that I cannot locate a place that I can create and order custom table # cards that have enough room to have the names on it. I looked on Minted, Shutterfly and other places. My fiance mentioned about us buying the paper/stationary and then doing the names in calligraphy, but the issue I have about that is we simply do not have the time to do it ourselves. Between the amount of time he and I work and the time it takes for us to get home, we only have enough time to cook dinner, eat and then get to bed. Plus I do not want to spend a lot of money on table # cards.
Does anyone know of a nationwide retail store and/or a website or somewhere that we could go to in order to get these done? We are located in the Charlotte, NC area if anyone else is that has an idea to help.
