A common way to add creativity to the reception is to have a cute way to assign the tables. Each guest will look for their name and what table they are sitting at when they arrive to the reception. These name cards can be kept as memorabilia from a wedding.
My first sister, Amy had the names with the table numbers written on chocolate candy bar wrappers. While this was a fun idea, it was also expensive and when planning a wedding you want to cut back expenses wherever possible.
A cheap idea is to make your own name tags. This does not have to be very hard or time consuming but requires good handwriting. You can purchase the cards at a craft store then with a nice sharpie write the names and add a flower for a finishing touch. Then add to an old shutters for display!
