This is **** a cute idea. It's kinda expensive. Does the frame come with it or is it seperate?

I listed everyone separate, and the reason is that I had couples coming who have different last names but were married, and I had couples who weren't married and I wanted everyone to have the ability to look up their own name.
It wasn't expensive at all. I was talking about it with DH last night and for the two of them we spent maybe $45 at most. The frames were half off, so they were something like $9 each. We had to buy the glass, so let's say the glass was $5 each. And then I bought the easel for $7 each. That's it.

No problem! If you need help when making them, let me know.
Just so you know, what I did was find the font I used on my invites. I downloaded it from some website that had free fonts. I took my Excel spreadsheet of guests and their table assignmenets, put it into the new file PageMaker (or in your case Print Shop), formatted it nicely, and applied my invitation font. Mom helped me with it because she's more in tune with PageMaker than I am. She found the claddagh, put that in. Then she printed it. I cut it to size, put it in the frame, and voila, it was done. It wasn't hard at all.
