Title: SotK and Lady Grey's Homemade Wedding
Post by: Lady Grey on March 21, 2016, 10:10:38 PM
Thought people might be interested (maybe?) in seeing some of the wedding stationery we made for our special day. :)


This was our seating plan:

Lothlorien was the top table. :D

We took a fair few photos at SotK's parents house (the base for all of our handmade wedding crafts) so the people at the venue would know how to set it out :P

What are the favours? (Come to that, what is a "favour" in this context..? It sounds eyebrow waggly)
Homemade jam is always welcome. NOM!


I imagine myself and the missus will have to do a lot of this sort of thing when it comes to our own wedding. A few years until that happens, admittedly, but this sort of thing seems right up her street.

Favours are little gifts/souvenirs for the guests that attend the wedding breakfast. Ours were the homemade jam, and a bookmark with a quote from a book relevant to the table name (so, people sitting on 'The Shire', for example, have LotR and Hobbit quotes on theirs). I think I managed to make every quote unique as well (I hand wrote all the place name cards and bookmarks) :)

I'm not an overly-sentimental person, and usually err on the side of "marriage is nothing but a tax arrangement", but these are GORGEOUS??? Like literally the most adorable thing I've seen all day. Congrats on making the wedding pretty! :D
