I've actually made something :)

I'm not at all artistic or creative but have finally made (well partially made) something for our wedding! We bought some stands/holders from ebay for table name cards but didn't know what we'd do with them, but we've now got tables named after collective nouns of certain animals. I've printed out the names on some card, inserted our own animal photos that we've taken ourselves on various visits so it's nice and personal, and topped off with a little clip on toy of the animal from the zoo shop (only £3 each but MSE as we get 20% discount for being members :D )
Not in the same league as some of the really creative folk on here but I'm pleased with them - here's the group of them and this is the close up of our meerkat one :)

    Yes just printed here at home...I've got an HP all in one printer/copier/scanner, nothing mega fancy or expensive (luckily I'd only just put in a new ink catridge!). Found the border bit on a clipart site and then just added text and the photos. Nothing fancy anywhere but am pleased they've come out so nicely
