detail post #3: the table cards

We decided to keep our tables organized by numbers, rather than naming them after significant landmarks or species of wildlife or something else just as esoteric, because Jesse and I are rather simple people and numbers are easy to follow. But, because I just can't seem to leave any project without some sort of unnecessary work, we designed them as folding stand up cards with the numbers on the front acting as age numbers and corresponding photos of us at that age on the inside. Why am I even describing this - the photos explain it all:

Front view. We had nine guest tables and put table zero (our newborn photos) at our sweet heart table.

My favorite of the interior photos. Unknowingly, and from different states, our mothers dressed us in matching outfits for our kindergarten photos. You can see more examples of the rest of the cards here.

They were pretty easy to make. Scanning and cleaning up all the photos took a little time, but gave us a great excuse to dig through our parents' old albums again. We designed them using Adobe Illustrator and printed them out on white card stock with out ink jet printer. These also helped to persuade us not to make any sort of video to show during the wedding reception. We figured between these photos and our guest book (which I'll post about next), our guests would have their fill of our shiny mugs. Also, we completely ran out of time.
