SotK and Lady Grey's Homemade Wedding

[Lady Grey]

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.

... these were the favours we made.
(the jam is also homemade)







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

Extraordinary!

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.

Oooh this looks awesome, I feel like getting married now so I can do something like this. Brb, off to find a burlap sack.

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)

Did anyone get mad crazy cos they felt they had been seated in the wrong setting?

Ah. So like party bags but for grown-ups?

[Lady Grey]

Pretty much

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!

Awh, thanks
