Mens Favours & Seating Plan help

hels102

I'm struggling with these! Where do I start?!
I'm doing minis from crabtree and evelyn for the ladies face cream,handcream and soap etc all presented in a triange type box.
Any suggestions what I can do for the men?
I'm also looking for ideas on how to produce my seating plan

I got the stuff for my seating plan from Hobbycraft and a frame from Ikea. It cost about £20 in total and looked great.

I have just been to the works and purchased a canvas for £4 and then some different coloured card to match colour scheme, ribbon and silk roses. I dont think it will cost £10 to make mine unless my printer is up the swanny then i will have to buy another one!

Mens favours - Minature Jack Daniels or some other minature?

Hi Hels, I'm having mini jack jack daniels for the men or how about a scratchcard/lottery ticket?

For the table plan, I bought a big piece of miunt board for £1.99 from the Range. I have printed of our names, the table names and the seat plan on ivory paper. I did the background for all the lettering on silver metallic card stuck onto the burgundy mount board. I then stck diamantes all over the mount board.

I have a template on my computer which I have used to print all the names, if you want it give me ashout, or just google free table plan template. Mine is for round tables but you can get them for square tables aswell!

I have recently started making table plans to go along with the vw wedding stationery that I make

its pretty easy provided you have a computer and a little bit of artyness about you

I make mine from mount board, then print the tables out with names on them, and a header with the bride and groom name on it and the date of the wedding, and (sometimes) a pritn out of their chosen design, then all these pieces are cut out and mounted onto coloured card to match the colour theme

this is then cut out again to give an edge of colour to each piece

then i stick all the pieces onto the mount board

For my vw ones, I cut the mount board to the shape of a van

but obviously you don't need to do that lol

for sticking all the pieces together I use small sticky foam pads, this gives the whole thing a bit of a 3d effect which looks lovely

oh and mens favours, a miniature bottle of something seems to be pretty populare at the moment, and im sure they will all appreciate it lol

but some people have warned you should check with your venue first, as one person was told she would be charged corkage for every bottle!!!!!!!

other ideas, business card holder, tie pin, cufflinks (look on ebay for cheap ones) mens soap/smellies

Hels - do crabtree & evelyn do a men's range if so then use that as I am sure the men would appreciate it.
