I had previously thought about painting galvanized buckets with numbers to add flowers to (the wedding is a country wedding under a tent) but exchange that with covering them with corresponding fabric would look great...even in strips as opposed to the whole bucket. In terms of stamps, I was thinking about picking fun stamps - a bee, hockey stick (for FI), a monkey, etc...then each table would be it's own "stamp". On the seating card would be the name and stamp. I have a picture from a magazine if you're interested. All great suggestions!

As for marking the table, I could see using the fabrics as the background for a printed table number. (It's easy to use spray adhesive to laminate fabric to cardstock.) or Do the same for place cards. or Use strips of the fabrics to make ties or bands to place around the napkins or chairs. or Cover tin cans or galvanized buckets to use as part of the centerpieces (to hold candles or flowers). or Place a band of fabric around glass vases in the centerpiece or Laminate a strip of fabric on menu cards at each table / place setting or make little no-sew pouches to hold candies or other goodies for your favors or...? I think I've exhausted my idea bank. :-) Anyone else with ideas? What kind of objects are you thinking of stamping, AK?

Lets say you had 12 tables & 12 different fabrics, you'd print the names on cardstock and pin them to the corresponding portrait. But then...how do you think you'd mark the table? Incorporate that fabric into the centerpiece? or just number each portait? I was thinking about stamping different objects instead of numbering tables, I just don't know if this would be too much! thoughts? I love this idea.
