So that the guests at your wedding can find their seats quickly and easily and you don't want to hire a seat allocator for this purpose, it is advantageous to put up a list at the entrance to the hall that tells each guest their table number. However, to make this system complete, the table numbers on the tables must of course also be included. And this is exactly why there are a wide variety of variations to adapt them to the rest of the table decorations and achieve a beautiful overall picture. You can also save costs if you simply make the wedding table numbers yourself. We have put together some beautiful models that can be made by even inexperienced hobbyists in just a few steps.
Vintage style wedding table numbers with chalkboards
If you want to make it particularly easy for yourself, use simple boards that youlabel with the respective numbers. Such mini boards already have the necessary vintage flair. However, you can also make them a little more individual by adding stands and paint and combining them with self-designed lanterns. Maybe you can find ready-made boards on stands. If not, just get both separately and stick the board to the stand. You will also need glass lanterns with a matching design, pretty fabric, all-purpose paints in any shade and fresh or artificial flowers. If you decide to use real flowers, get them on the day of the wedding at the earliest or choose ones that you can dry.
If your boards have a wooden frame, you have the option of coloring it and the stand. As a precaution, tape off the board itself so as not to contaminate it with paint. The lanterns can also be painted. After the paint has dried, the glass can be carefully sanded here and there to create an attractive shabby look. Wrap a piece of fabric around each lantern and place a tea light in each. Glue the stands to the boards and then place them on the lantern like a lid. As soon as all guests are seated, the wedding table numbers can simply be removed from the lantern and the candle lit. All that remains is to write on the board and your wooden table decoration is ready. If you can't find boards with frames, you can also use picture frames.
Luminous number on wood
This is a little more complexVariant for table numberswooden. You will need a square wooden board, nails (preferably copper), two battery-operated fairy lights, wood varnish, double-sided tape and a hammer, drill and stencils for the numbers. Paint the wooden board in any color. While the paint is drying, prepare the stencil. Poke holes in the paper. You can then transfer this to the board by placing the template on the wooden board and simply poking through the holes with a pencil. These markings should therefore be approximately evenly spaced from one another. Now hammer the nails into the board. They should all be about the same depth in the board and not come out the back.
Determine where the fairy lights should come out of the board and mark the places. Drill holes in these areas. Now you can first drill each string of lights through the hole from behind and then wrap it around the nails. This should create a nice pattern and not a chaotic tangle. Hide the switch button on the back of the board by sticking it with double-sided adhesive tape. The first of these attractive wooden wedding table numbers is ready to be set up.
Craft with candles
With the help of wax paper, tissue paper, a heat gun, and a nice crayon or marker, you can transform simple candles into beautiful place numbers for the wedding table. All you have to do is come up with numbersDecorate candles. You can choose the color of the candles yourself. But keep in mind that this must also match the color of the tissue paper and you will then also have to use a pen for writing that can be clearly seen on the colored napkin. The easiest way to work is with a white candle. Also provide stencils for the numbers.
Cut a small piece of tissue paper the same length as the candle is tall. The width itself doesn't matter. This depends entirely on the size of your number. Place the paper on the first of the numbers. Since the paper is relatively transparent, the number can be clearly seen and can now be traced on the tissue paper with the selected pen. Finally, check whether the number is completely filled in. You can then cut off the excess paper around the number. Then cut a piece of wax paper to wrap around the candle after placing the number on the candle. While holding the wax paper, heat the candle a little with the heat gun. The wax begins to melt and absorbs the tissue paper. Before removing the wax paper, make sure you have heated all areas of the tissue paper. Remove the wax paper and allow the candle to cool. The number is perfectly sealed by the wax.
Cork display
You can get cork wedding table numbers extremely quickly and easily. For each number you will need eight corks, which you can finally decorate with yarn or a ribbon. If you would like to make this yourself, simply glue the corks together as shown. The upper area should be left out so that the card can still be inserted. Then tie yarn around the corks and let the glue dry thoroughly. In the meantime, you can complete the table numbering for the wedding by either writing on cards freehand or printing them out.
Ideas forLast minute decorations
If you decided to number the tables at the last moment, you need a quick craft idea. And what could be better than this unique idea. Numbers made of yarn are simply glued onto simple wooden boards of any size. This DIY idea is really suitable for everyone and only takes a few minutes. If you like, you can also paint the wood in a different color or use a beautiful ribbon or even lace instead of yarn. The design can therefore be easily varied.
From DIY cards and lanterns
Or how about simply using ready-made decorations and objects and adding homemade cards to them. It doesn't necessarily have to be lanterns, like in this example. Other types of lanterns or even a simple bouquet of flowers, a vase and the like are also suitable for this purpose. You can get particularly quick cards if you simply paint pieces of cardboard with blackboard paint and then write on them with chalk or a chalk marker.
