I’d been mulling this one over since my first forays into wedding Pinterest, but it took me a while to actually get round to doing it!
We’d decided to name our tables after favourite places in Edinburgh, as that’s where we both met at university (heroed by the student union club as our top table, where we quite literally first met!) I’d seen some great ‘map of the world’ table plans, but nothing for Edinburgh…so another opportunity for crafting was on the horizon!
What you need:
1) A cork board – mine was just a cheap one from Argos
2) A map of your choice – I found my vintage map of Edinburgh from AncientShades on Etsy
3) Gift tags – I got these at HobbyCraft
4) Twine/string – mine was also from HobbyCraft, and I went for different shades of blue to match our colour scheme
5) Pins
6) Coloured card (for the letters at the top)
7) A Sharpie or permanent marker
8) Superglue
9) Printed table information (just normal paper is fine)
What to do:
This is another one where it’s pretty much just as it looks in the picture – but as a quick summary, here’s how I got from start to finish…
1) I attached the map to the cork board. Initially with pins, which didn’t really work, and then with superglue (the pins remained for aesthetic effect, as they’d already made their holes by this time!)
2) I then stuck my table information to the gift tags, and glued them to the right places around the edges of the map
3) I stuck pins in the gift tags and on the locations that the table related to, and connected the two with coloured twine (my pins were big enough to hide where I’d tied it)
4) Finally, I cut out squares of cards in alternating colours to write ‘TABLE PLAN’, and exercised my best attempts at Sharpie calligraphy. These then also got glued on at the top.
And there you have it – one destination table plan personalised to you!
