I was wondering where you got the paper for your fact cards & menus? They are DIY right? Did you put them through the printer or something?
And where did you put the fact cards? Lying out on the tables? About how many did you do per table or wherever you put them?
They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!

Re: Mariedsgn!
Okay! Wednesdays are my crazy days, after work I teach a SPIN class at the gym, and I stopped at my parents house! So I am a graphic designer and I designed the the fact cards in illustrator (but you can make them in any program that you want) and printed them with a Laser printer on Pearlescent Metallic Cardstock from www.paperandmore.com – I bought 100 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 paper for $29.99 – in Pearl White. I would suggest if you make them that you save the file as a PDF and bring the file with the paper to Kinko's and have them print it for you. I put 8 cards on a page with different facts – I had 32 different facts. And I printed 3 copies of each and just scattered them around the tables.
Hope this helps – let me know if you have any other questions! marie

Don't worry about it lol! Every day is a crazy day around here, so I totally understand!
Thanks so much for all the details!
I do have another q though, sorry lol! Your menus- did you have buffet style or sit down dinner? We're having buffet style, so do you think a menu still works? Or is that just not necessary then?
