Medieval seating chart - Bow and arrow

I came across this very medieval seating chart idea by Tammy from Uniquity Invitations / Cora's Photography /via Ruffled. It is something you can do yourself and it's a fun way to direct your guests to their seats.
It's worthy of a Robin Hood wedding to plant an arrow in a target board and have a couple of lists hang down from the arrow with the names of each guest at each table.
Best way to make sure it's stable is to use a big round slice of wood, drill a hole in it for and arrow-like long cylindrical stick and make the stick look like a real arrow by adding fletchings in the other end. The target board can be painted with concentric rings in shifting colors.
The table number notes can be printed on parchment paper to give it a medieval feel.

  2. I am so happy that the blog have helped you :) I really felt like there are so many wedding blogs out there, but not a great one about medieval weddings :) I am just trying to fill a void :) And I gathered so much information planning my own wedding - I thought it would be a waste just deleting it.
