A Wonderful Idea: Using Memory Items as Table Numbers with Month Age Cards♡

How to Repurpose Table Numbers After the Wedding?

Table numbers placed on the guest tables at the reception.

They are items that clearly communicate to guests which table they should be seated at, and many brides choose to make them by hand.

Since they can also serve as an accent in the guest table coordination, everyone prepares them, but there seems to be no purpose for them after the wedding.

As a result, most people probably end up discarding or giving them away.

However, this time I discovered a wonderful idea for repurposing table numbers after the wedding!

The Idea of Turning Table Numbers into Monthly Age Cards♡

This is the idea of using the table numbers displayed at the wedding as monthly age cards for a baby!

Monthly age cards are cards that represent the months of a baby's age (1 month, 2 months, etc.).

It's popular among moms to take commemorative photos each month along with the monthly age cards as a record of growth!♡

Turning Table Numbers into Monthly Age Cards ♡

Monthly age cards can be made with just the numbers 1 to 12.

Therefore, if you prepare table numbers in numerical form (instead of alphabetical) for the 12 tables, you can use them as they are!

Your carefully gathered photo frames won’t go to waste either! ♡

In addition to the numbers 1 to 12, making "100 (100th Day)" and "Just Born" in the same design will make them even easier to use as monthly age cards. ◎

What Are the Design Points?

Here are some points to keep in mind if you're making the table numbers with the future goal of remaking them into monthly age cards.

~~DIY Points~~

① Use numbers instead of letters.

➡️ Even if there are few tables, don't forget to make up to 12!

② Avoid including your names or wedding date.

➡️ A simple design is easier to reuse.

③ Do not include text like "Table."

➡️ If you want to include text, position it at the top or bottom so it can be cut out later.

④ Use different background designs for each number.

➡️ Changing the background design for each number makes it enjoyable to look back at the commemorative photos later! ♡

Repurposing Cherished Items ♡

I introduced the idea of remaking table numbers used at the wedding into monthly age cards for DIY for graduated brides.

It's really wonderful that items used at the wedding, which is the beginning of married life, transform into items that watch over the growth of the couple's children.

Whether you’re already expecting a baby or hope to have one someday, keep this in mind when preparing your table numbers! ♡
