Inspiration: Paper Flag Escort Cards

You can assign seating by numbering these cutesy paper flags. Or tweak the idea a little by substituting scrapbooking paper for fabric, and substitute the use of table numbers, instead give each table a different tablecloth pattern, and the patterns become the table-assignment designators.
The scrapbooking paper/fabric can be used as place mats or turned into runners for your tables.


DIY Tutorial

1. To make the flags, cut paper into 6 1/2-by-1 3/4-inch rectangles. With a glue stick, cover the underside of each rectangle with glue, and fold over a toothpick. Press down firmly, and cut a notch at the ends. Print guest names and numbers, and cut into mini labels. Glue the name labels onto the flags.



2. To make the tiered stand, buy 1/2-inch foam board. Cut into 12-inch, 9-inch, 6-inch, and 3-inch widths (they can be as long as your display area). Starting with the bottom tier, stack them from widest to thinnest, aligning on the back edge; then glue.




3. Cut bulletin borders, the kind teachers use, to fit the sides of each level, and glue them with a tape stamper.


4. Stick escort flags into the foam board, and set out the display.
