Place Cards - how to find your table

Posted by Tigritza

SO - I wanted to couch this in another post, but am pretty excited about this little project. Tasha's dad, a true Russian, makes wine and vodka at home. That's right - HOMEMADE VODKA. It's delicious, and for the wedding he's agreed to make some classic Russian 'Horseradish Vodka.' I know what you're thinking - HOW am I going to drink that? Trust me, it goes down pretty smoothly. And, as it turns out, it adds a really nice personal touch to the wedding.

You know how at weddings you need to have a table that has everyone's name on it, and their table number? So that they can figure out where they're going to sit? Well, we're going to make it a table of little bottles, one for each guest.

Each bottle will:
- be filled with homemade vodka, and have a handwritten label on it (handwritten by yours truly... this should be a fun project)
- be sealed with a CORK (fun!!).
- have a little coloured tag on the neck, tied to the bottle with a piece of twine, saying the guest's name and table. Again, probably handwritten by yours truly.

We attempted to 'design' the label yesterday (below) - probably needs way less text. I'm excited to see what it looks like with the cork and the twine-tied-tag around the neck!

Then, on the TABLES themselves, place cards (also handwritten) will be at each seat with the name of the guest. We're going to make cork place card holders like so:

So if you live in Philly, please start saving your BYOB corks for us!!

Lots of love, and Happy Thanksgiving!
