    I am having some trouble coming up with table name ideas, except for maybe selecting musicians, movie stars, or cars from various decades?  I dunno....

    I thought these table numbers were awesome and had a great vintage feel:

    We're printing out the names to be framed in an older frame (that has yet to be found).

    We're themeing the tables with dancers of the 20s-40s (Frankie Manning, Chaz Young, Norma Miller, Dean Collins, Jean Veloz, "Big B", Shortie George Snowden, etc) since we ourselves are dancers and we're having a 19-piece band.

    Movies, musicians, etc are all great table themes.

    @knubbsywubbsy - Great idea for the table names, since you're dancers!  Have you searched at antique malls or thrift stores for the frames?

    @melisslp: We've started collecting frames and we have almost enough 8x10 and 5x7 for the tables we just haven't found one large enough for the assignments- we have an easel from the venue to use so we need to accomidate that as well.

    We're driving up to Dallas in a few weeks so I want to stop by the design district near the AA center since they seemed to have a lot antique shops.

    @Knubbsy-Wubbsy - Don't forget that you could check out Craigslist and flea markets.  If push comes to shove, you could probably buy a large frame at Michaels or another place and distress it if needed.  Here's a link on how to do it:

    Good Luck!!!

    I love the windows idea! :) But I would want to be able to erase the names so I could use them as decor for my house!!!

    I'm using antique shutters to display my escort cards. I actually just posted pictures under the DIY board. 

    I haven't decided what I am doing for table names/numbers yet.

    @kperry3 - I think you could use liquid chalk markers/pens, which would erase.  Then you could re-use the frames for decor'! Smile

    @kperry3: just so you know, permanent marker comes off with rubbing alcohol... or if you write over it with wipe off marker.  :)  Easily reusable!

    I will be doing something very similar to this. The escort cards will also have mason jars stamped onto them. I will stamp the table number onto vintage clothespins.
