From the get go I knew I wanted chair signs for me and Robert. What I decided a month out were signs for my bridesmaids and groomsmen. I wanted them to feel extra special that day since they are special people in our lives. A few weeks before the wedding Rob and I worked on their chair signs together. We kept it a secret as a little surprise for them when they arrive at their seats. Check it out below.
Gold cardstock and off white paper purchased from Paper Source. Robert designed each sign in Illustrator and printed them out.
Crystals were applied on either side of their titles.

Punched holes on the top corners and roped chocolate brown silk ribbon to tie onto the chairs.
This is how they turned out looking at the reception.

The signs we made for our chairs were a bit different. We purchased heart shaped vines from Save on Crafts online store. Our 6″ tall wood block initials were purchased from Michael’s and crackle painted to give them a vintage look. Here’s the finished product.
I think they came out pretty awesome. Trying to find a spot in our home to hang ‘em up now. [big props to tdang for initiating the crackle paint process]
I also wanted to make signs for the flowergirls and parents but ran out of paper and time to do so. A sure sign that tells us we can do more if we start earlier and not procrastinate. I think this was a very cheap and easy way of making people in your life feel special. It’s also a great detail and nice touch to the wedding.
