The first thing you will want to do is take the list of names provided to you by your client and print out a copy. This comes in handy so you know what table every is sitting at and to have it available in front of you. (And so you can double, triple & quadruple check for spelling mistakes!)
Open Adobe Illustrator (If you don’t have AI you can download a free trial. If you are going to be doing this type of work regularly I would highly suggest purchasing this program!) Once inside Illustrator, open a new file and set it to the actual size of the mirror (ie. 11 1/2″ x 36″). This will allow you to play with the exactlayout as it will ap...

WARNING!This will make a HUGE mess at the beginning but once you take a dry paper towel it will all start to rub away. This will take some muscle power but it should co...

- Consider a Chalkboard Design. Who says blackboards and chalk were just for your grade school days? This contrasting, rustic style featuring an overview of all the attendees and their designated tables will fit so many different wedding themes.
- Get Reflective. Mirror, mirror on the wall... this seating arrangement situation may just be the fairest of them all. ICYMI: Wedding mirror signs aren't going anywhere.
- Fly Your Banners. These elegant flags will bring a pop of color into any bohemian, outdoor wedding. Now to add a string of fairy lights for a bit of intimacy.
