As some of you may know, I don't just make bears. I have been known to wield a knitting needle, to joust with a crochet hook and thrust an embroidery needle.
When my husband and I got married 3 years ago, I made a lot of the stationery for the big day myself. From save the date cards to orders of service I made them all. But the thing I am most pleased with is the place cards for the tables. I saw the idea in a wedding album at a fair and couldn't resist making my own special cross stitched place cards. And I made one for every seated guest (about 60) and I made a couple a night as the RSVPs arrived. On the big day, they looked like this:
Aren't they pretty? And the best part is that every time I go to the house of one of the guests, the card is happily on display somewhere. Not tucked in a drawer or thrown away, cherished and admired even after the event. And that gives me a big old happy!
These cards have been selected to feature in the UK Handmade Wedding Gift guide this summer with some other gorgeous items to make your wedding perfect.
