Getting together to break bread is an important part of any celebration. As well as planning your event and menu, it’s fun to also consider the look of the table you and your guests will sit around.
From centrepieces to napkins, there’s lots out there to inspire you to create a tasteful tablescape.
And this is exactly where we can help!
Be it your festive Christmas table, wedding seating plan, celebratory dinner party or a birthday tea, our personalised wooden place names make your guests feel extra special when they come to take their seat.
So why choose wooden?
Here are 3 reasons to send your guest list names to Etched on the Wolds today.
1. They’re a lasting reminder
Have you ever stood at a display searching for something with your name on? Turning the stand to get to your initial and scanning down to see if they have something for you? People like items with their name on and that’s why a handmade, personalised wooden placename is a perfect keepsake alongside any favours you might provide. And because they’re far more substantial than a piece of card, your guests are likely to keep theirs as a memento of the occasion. Cut out script font or engraved log slice, if you choose to add a piece of ribbon too, these can be hung in the home as decorative items after the event. The most popular use is on a Christmas tree.
2. They’re a sustainable, environmentally friendly option
We source materials that are kind for the planet, using reclaimed wood, branches and / or pallet boards to make our place names where possible, and so if you order from us, you know you’re making a responsible choice. The longevity and reusability of wooden placenames (see point 1) mean you and your guests can bring them out time again, reducing any waste. What’s more, our packaging is fully recyclable too and so when you receive your Etched on the Wolds parcel, you do so safe in the knowledge you’ve received happy post both for yourself and the world we share. That’s plenty of reason alone right there to place an order!
3. They suit a rustic decor theme
The term rustic can cover a wide range of design ideas but at its core, is inspired by nature and often features woody accents. Natural materials enhance a ‘no fuss’ aesthetic and help create a versatile and inviting look to any tablescape. Reclaimed wood in particular adds character and warmth, with its unique shape, cut and markings. Slight twists and bows may occur and each product will be slightly different due to the grain and knots found in a particular piece of timber making each individual product totally unique and special. Nature-inspired textures are very in vogue and so a wooden placename is an absolute must if you’re going for that rustic look and feel.
Fear not. If you’re planning an event and have only just come across this blog, don’t think you’ve left it too late. We can work super quickly to ensure you and your guests can benefit from personalised wooden placenames.
We have a variety of styles on our website to provide some food for thought and we are also completely open to creating a bespoke design too if you have something in mind for us to work with. We can bring your ideas to reality as we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure you receive exactly what you’re looking for.
It’s our pleasure to be part of your dining plans and we look forward to seeing who you’ve invited to your table.
