Macbride's DIY Time
Hello Reserved Signs!

Yesterday was a super productive day. I applied for three jobs, advertised for my thesis experiment, won an ultimate frisbee championship (yay!), and finished our reserved signs!

I made one for us, the bride and groom, one for each of our parents, and one for my brother. Even though I like to think of myself as crafty, my cutting skills are absolutely terrible, so I brought the printouts to work and used the paper cutter there.

I got the flourish from a super friendly bride who posted a link and her password to weddingclipart yesterday. I apologize because I forget her name...chev something?? Anywho thank you super friendly bride! UPDATE: Found her name on another bride's post. It's chavezfam5. Thank you. *MUAH*

What do you think?

fabulousbride2011: We went with the reserved signs because we are assigning people to tables and not seats, and wanted some people to sit in particular spots. Also it makes them feel extra special.
ladydamm: Thanks. I love them too and they were super easy to make.
rodrhonda4ever: Thanks :)!

Super cute!
We aren't doing a specific seating either.  But for the Reserved tables I am.  I wouldn't, but it's totally to keep the peace between select people lol
As for your cutting skills...I found that even with a paper cutter, I cut crooked........took many invite do overs to get it right lmao eventually I got it down....at least that's what I told myself lol there may be crooked invites posted on someones fridge I'm sure lol

Lol I can just imagine the crooked invites on the fridge but I'm sure that no one will notice. I totally know what you mean about keeping the peace between select people. There's a bit of family drama between my dad and his mom and you know what I did? I sat them all together. The seating plan wouldn't really work any other way and it will at least encourage them to talk to each other. Maybe it's not the smartest move but my gut tells me it will work.

These turned out great! Great idea. I think I'll have to do something like this too!
Yay for super friendly brides!
And  I think of myself as crafty but cannot cut a straight line to save my life. hahha. oh well. That is why they make paper cutters, right??
