Say My Name

 I has hoping to get a start on the table cards this week since the "courtesy" of our guests' response were "requested" by Wednesday.  However, apparently courtesy and request aren't strong enough words- out of the 157 people we invited, we got 101 responses- that means there's 56 people who haven't responded!  That's 29 phone calls to make!

I digress.  Since our reception is being held at a yacht club, I decided to make the Martha Stewart paper boats as name cards.  She suggests they're only for kids, but hey- who doesn't want a cute paper good?  They also have lifesaver mints attached, so it's useful as well.  Here's Martha's version:


I have no idea where she purchased her blue and white "twine".  I searched all over for some and ended up twisting some blue and white embroidery floss together.  Because it took so long to twist the floss together we decided on only 1 lifesaver per boat.  The total cost of these guys was about $10 for 100 of them.  We had the bamboo skewers and paper left over from bbq's and invitations.  Here's my finished product.


I will make the font more legible and have a picture of the meal choice (fish, cow, chicken, mushroom- from my invitation response cards) on the back.  I'm also thinking of color-coding the paper to the meal choice.  Now if only I can get those darn RSVP's in!!!
