Memorial Table

You don't want to put the photos in frames and just put em on the table ?

This may be a stretch so bare with me I cant tell how thick the board is so I can't say if this would work or not but what about super strong magnets?? like hot glue the end of the twine (or maybe like lace ribbon for more of a sweet rustic look - it would also be lighter) but glue it to a magnet and then place the other magnet on the other side of the wood? Idk just a thought lol otherwise thumb tacks only leave small holes haha

I should have noted that my idea is more for something like this when the pictures aren't in the frames lol

hanging pics

I like this layout!

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately we have enough pictures that if I just set them up in frames they get kinda crowed and some are hidden. The shelf is not super deep

View Quoted Comment I like this idea. I hadn't thought of magnets! Clever

What about clear command strips? They are easily removable and stay up nicely. You could get the string lights like Emly posted above and hang them using the hooks.

View Quoted Comment See this is why u come here lol. I think my brain is fried

View Quoted Comment Haha. I hear you! This has happened to me so many times. You have so much to think about that you completely miss something that should be simple. This is why we reach out and hope someone else has a working brain! Lol

I put ours in frames! It looks good

You could use a large frame and string the twine inside of it. You would have to add legs to the frame to make it stand, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

View Quoted Comment Oh that's clever!

I really like this idea- hang the photos up with clear command hooks and add fairy lights. A mixture of frames made into a gallery wall style would look nice too.

View Quoted Comment Ohhh fairy lights! Great idea

If you have anyone that knows programming/computer stuff, you could do a raspberry pi frame. We got a simple frame on amazon that came with the screen, attached a raspberry pi, and either plug in power source or battery power. That way you could have all the digital photos you want with names or however you want it.

We have very limited space at our venue, so this is the idea we're going with. Granted my future husband is a programmer/back-end developer and was working on this project beforehand anyway.
