I was pretty happy with everything except that I started to feel guilty wasting the 1.5 inch strip on the bottom (and the 1 inch strip on the side as well). Waste not, want not, I guess.
I decided that this strip of paper would work just fine for some seating cards. I was able to print 4 little seating cards (1.5x3.5 inches) in the space below the invitations. I printed off seating cards for the entire guest list, even though I know that not everyone will come. And as there are only a few “and guests” invited, I will only need to print off a few more seating cards once the RSVPs have been (hopefully) returned.
The main inspiration was this picture, although I cannot remember where I found it.
I stamped the top of each seating card with a clear stamp that I had made with our logo. The stamp was made for only around 12 dollars (Canadian) by Village Impressions. I just emailed the company the jpeg and my nice little stamp arrived at my parents’ house in Canada 3 days later. The nice part about it being clear is that you can actually see where the ink will be going.
We plan to hang all of the seating cards from an antique door that my parents have lying around using mini clothes pegs. (A door kind of like the one used in this picture from Michelle Rago).
Again, I'm blogging blind from work(ie. the work internet lets me onto blogger but when I hit 'view post' I cannot see how all the pictures look as it blocks all blogger pictures, weird, I know) so apologies if this post looks a bit funky.

I did the same thing for my programs....and those little strips drove me nuts, too! In fact I think I used them for my escort cards as well.
They look fabulous!
Love the stamp idea and the texture of the paper. What do you mean blogging blind?
Great inspiration!
