Default Need Ideas

Our budget is pretty well tapped out.

Anyone have any ideas for diy place card holders and table numbers for a slightly medieval themed wedding?

And, instead of table numbers, we are doing romantic medieval couples, such as the Romeo and Juliet table, and the Robin Hood and Maid Marion table.

Thanks bunches!

We DIY'd that too. I just went to Michael's and bought the blank place card holders in the wedding section and printed them ourselves. They're not too expensive, and they looked really nice! They have several black and white designs that would go well with a Medieval theme. We ALMOST did that same idea with the couples as table numbers, but #1 - we ran out of time and #2 - I thought it might get confusing for some guests. It's easier to look at a number and know exactly where to sit, but to have to read every single couple's name to figure out which table you're at? Meh... I know I have family members who'd just simply give up before they found their table and sit somewhere random!

These aren't DIY, but we used these castle bell place card holders for a fairytale wedding, but they'd work out well for a Medieval wedding too. But I don't have any tips on a DIY version though.

What about a card holder and postcards of castles? You could name the tables after castles, or you could write the couples names on it.

Another couple you could use is Tristan and Isolde...

Instead of DIY place card holders, why don't you just have folding place cards?? They are much more affordable just being paper and don't need a holder. You can tie in the medieval theme with a castle on the side next to the name, or maybe faded in the background of the escort card?? You can do the same with table numbers, just have it faded in the background with the table number in front of it. You can then just put them on a stick and stick those into the flowers (very affordable) or print it out and stick it in a picture frame. You can get those frames for a $1 each. Best of luck to ya!!
