Table Number Stands/frames for 99 cents!

dks64, on May 2, 2015 at 12:54 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 14

I've been on the hunt for affordable wedding stuff and while shopping at IKEA yesterday found something that would work perfectly for table numbers. They aren't the perfect size for the number cards I'm buying from Zazzle, but they will work great when I mat them! The card holders I was looking at were $6 EACH. I paid $10 for 10 stands. I'm trying to keep this wedding cheap and being creative is helping a lot. I just found a few other people who did it too (Pinterest), here are their photos:

    I was thinking about spray painting the frames sparkly silver or gold, but my wedding colors aren't either. White is a wedding color, so I might just keep them the way they are.

    We used these!! They are definitely a deal! We spray painted different metalics to match our theme-- gold, bronze, and copper-- but I've seen them silver, too, and they look great no matter what.

    You can see some silver ones in this thread: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/diy-table-numbers/d38bb00d16efbb6f.html

    It also has some tips re: painting them in case you decide to go that route.

    Thanks! Those are so pretty. If I'm going to do a metallic color, it will probably be silver. Or maybe Navy blue. (Attached my colors below if anyone wants to throw a suggestion out Smiley smile )

    That's so funny that many brides had this idea before me. I wanted to check for frames when I was at IKEA yesterday, but I didn't know exactly what they had. I wanted something with a stand, so these are perfect. I might have to paint them because I will likely have white linens on the table. I was thinking white tablecloth, white chair covers, and a navy blue sash on the chairs. The centerpieces will be the pinks and a hint of blue. The wedding will go from 3-8, so we don't want the table to be too dark.

    I got my table numbers from zazzle, too. I was looking at these frames online but haven't but the bullet to order them yet because I don't know how they will fit. My number cards are 3.5x5 I think. Would it look weird?

    C&K - I wrote a message, but it disappeared (refreshing it doesn't bring it up)... this might turn into a duplicate:

    The Zazzle cards are a little small for the frames (these are 4x6), but you can either have the cards floating in the frames or tape them to a paper background.
