For this months themed
wedding we thought we would give you a travel themed set up, after all, what else is better than a getaway with your h2b.
So let’s start at the
beginning with the invites, and what better than a boarding pass invite, to
start your around the world wedding. These lovely invites are also our colour
scheme of bronze and sky blue (it must be meant to be), and are a steal at
£30.24 for 54 invites.
Next up the table plan, we
love this DIY table plan. This is cheap and easy for you to produce, allowing
you more money to spend on the essentials (like the dress!) and will leave your
guests asking “where in the world am I sitting?”
But what will the tables be
called? With this fun theme the world is your oyster for table names, ‘cause
numbers are just boring! Postcards would look lovely, but for a bit of a more
personal twist, why not put pictures of you in a city on each table? Display
your table names in these cute bronze hearts, £1.60 each, to give the table a
bit of height.
Now let’s look at the guest
book. Why have a book? Ask yourself, how often do you think you will blow the
dust off and read the messages your tipsy guests wrote you? So why not have
something you can display, like this globe (£28 with postage), it fits with the
theme of the day and can be displayed in your marital home reminding you of
your special day every time you look at it.
And next to your guest globe
this rustic suitcase will work a treat. Displayed open for your guests to pop
the cards to you, “the newlyweds”, in. This is £21.89, but again, could look
great in your home, who doesn’t need extra storage!
For the favour we love these
bronze airplane bottle openers, priced at £1.98 each. We don’t know about you, but
we can never find a bottle opener at home when we need one, so this favour is
bound to not be left behind!
Your guests will know what
table they are on from your table plan, but how will they find their seat? Name
cards of course! And don’t these brown parcel tags look cute (£4.35 for 50),
picture them, tied around the favour with this lovely blue and white twine
(£1.25 for 5 meters), bringing a little more blue into the colour scheme
alongside the blue chair sash and table runner.
And for a little more colour
map table confetti would look fab, tying the theme together a little bit more,
and balancing out the colour scheme. Only £4.50 for 500, it will go far!
Now let’s finish with the
table centre piece, and we loved the guest book globe so much, we think they
would look brilliant on every table. But how about a slightly smaller version,
at £15.66 each these are more budget friendly, and also as they are smaller
wont dominate that table as much. Don’t
they look fab with the vintage travel books providing the finishing touch!
