What do you think of this??

Me and the OH are getting married in two weeks time and last night we sat and made all of our place settings.

Months ago I saw these online and fell in love with them:



However they were £5 each and having 63 guests I could not justify the £315 bill for them!!

So we found a little shop in our town that does ribbon printing and we already had the wire at home. So here's our version:





Total cost to us £20!! They maybe don't look as professional as the first ones but I kind of like that they look homemade. And to do 63 for just £20 i think is amazing!!

So what do you reckon??

They look good Esme, the first one looks like a piece of card glued on to ribbon? If so you could prob make your own even cheaper - just get one of those heart shaped 'punch' stencils and Bobs your uncle

The other ones look good too - if anything the silver printing on the ribbon looks better

I love them!

I was watching Don't tell the Bride and the groom had made name tag thingys and cut them in the shape of an apple leaf and stuck them to the apples - it looked really good.
