I'm trying to figure out how to best set up a few items at our wedding. We love to travel so we're incorporating that into the decor. I'm not trying to have a million signs, but also want to make sure everything is clear for our guests. Does it make sense for all of these items to be on one table? Or will that be too overwhelming, particularly if we need a sign for each of them? Appreciate any input!
1. Instead of a guestbook we're thinking of having a jar and slips of paper where people can write down suggestions of places they've traveled to and loved. Wondering if I need a sign for this or if maybe I can get custom slips of paper that have the instructions printed on them? Or maybe instructions on a tag attached to the jar?
2. Our card box will be a globe with a slit on top (picture below). I'm wondering if I need to include a sign that says "cards" or if having the slit on top will be self explanatory?
3. For the seating chart, I was thinking of using one of the many travel themed options on Etsy that are all on one page and then are placed on a table or an easel. BUT, then my mom bought a cute suitcase from Michael's for the bridal shower (picture below) that I was thinking of re-purposing and using for individual travel themed escort cards (Pinterest photo below). I kind of wanted to include a sign that says "Where in the World Are You Sitting?" since the tables will be named after places we've traveled to, but am okay skipping that in favor of cutting down on unnecessary signage. Our venue is a historical town home with cocktails happening in one part of the house, dinner in another and dancing in the ballroom upstairs. So maybe the escort cards can go on a separate table near where the dinner is. Although the suitcase might look a little lonely on a table on its own...
