Paper ideas

Etsy has some really great paper crafts going on and I'm super excited about all the inspiration I'm getting.

Imagine these cards:

one standing on each plate at the reception. Inside each card is a small dinner menu, and on the front of each card is a pretty white circle that looks like this:


and each circle has the name of a guest on it. This way, each person knows where they are sitting and can also figure out which meal they'd like to have.

I'm not sure how the meal thing works, though. I feel like generally the guests chose their meal on the card they use to rsvp. In that case, these cards would be fun to send in the mail with the invitations.

Oh! That gives me a better idea. If I use these cards as rsvp notes and menus, I could just make more of the cards and still set them up on each plate with everyone's name, but leave the inside blank so that each guest could write Joe and I a message, then leave the cards in a box at the end of the night.

The best part is, all I need to do is buy some fancy card stock and I could make all of the cards myself and save some money.

Also, how cute would these be to number the tables?:

the answer is VERY cute.
