I want to something a bit more different then the usual folded up in line cards with everyones name and table numbers. I want it to be creative but not expensive.
Answer
It would help to give you ideas if we knew what kind of theme or setting you are having at the event.
For example, for a beach wedding, you could paint everyone's name on a shell at their place setting.
For a formal wedding, you could have people's names embroidered or screen printed on their napkin.
You could put a tiny pot of flowers with each guests names painted on it at each place setting.
There are lots of things you can do if you think outside the box.

Newly engaged and planning to have the wedding in 11 months. How do I plan?
Stacie!
I'm not at all sure where to begin.
What should the agenda be as far as month to month planning for this wedding? I have no idea when appropriate times to plan certain things are. HELP!
Answer
I remember being in the same situation. I knew nothing about planning a wedding and I had no one to help me. The good thing is that you have plenty of time. I planned mine in less than 4 months. Here is how I planned (and still planning) mine:
1) Come up with a realistic budget with your fiance. What can you afford? Also come up with a tentative guest list for quoting purposes.
2) Decide what type of wedding you want to have. Do you want to have your ceremony in a church and then the reception at a hotel banquet room? Do you want to have your wedding at a house?
3) Research available venues. I wanted a beach wedding so I googled "beach wedding venues in the bay area" and came up with a ton of information.
4) Check date availability and get quotes. Prices vary greatly from place to place. I found a place that wanted to charge $80+ a head and the place I booked is much nicer and only charges $45 a head.
5) Make an appointment to meet with the wedding coordinator to look at the place. If you like it an can afford it, make a deposit to hold your date.
6) Research and get quotes from photographers
7) Research DJ's or band in your area and pay a deposit to book their services. I found a company that offered a showcase so I got to see what they were about before I booked. Companies are better than booking individuals because they have backups if the DJ gets sick or can't make it for any reason.
8) Get an idea of what you want your colors, flowers, or themes to be. Print pictures of flowers / bouquets off the Internet and show them to florists. Get quotes and book your florist.
9) Look at wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, and print pictures of ones you like. Make an appointment at your local bridal shop (give yourself at east 4 months or more). The dresses usually take up to 16 weeks to be tailored and sent to the bridal shop. I chose my bridesmaids dresses the same day and at the same shop I got my wedding dress from.
10) Book your officiant / pastor / rabbi. If the one you had in mind is busy on your wedding day then ask him or her for a referral. I got my officiant through a referral and she seems really nice.
11) See if your hairstylist can do your hair /and or make-up the day of your wedding. If she or he cannot travel to where you will be married then look around for local salons and get trial hair and make-up to be sure you will like what they can do for you.
12) Look for bakeries that do wedding cakes and choose what type of cake you want and how you want it to look. Book their services for your date.
13) 3 months before you wedding (no earlier than that or it will expire) obtain your marriage license permit in the county you will be married in. You might have to go down to the clerks office with your fiance and show your ID's and make a payment. Call or search the county recorders office in the county you will be married, and ask what they need from you. Also ask your officiant if all they need is the permit. Our officiant is going to take care of the documents after the wedding, we just need to give her the permit.
14) Search and purchase your wedding favors and wedding party gifts. Look into table numbers and seating assignment charts if you will be assigning seating.
15) Make sure your fiance makes an appointment at a tux shop with his wedding party to pick out their attire. This can be a few months before the wedding.
Note: When selecting your vendors, make sure you tell them you are on a budget (if so) and they will almost always go down in price. Our photographer gave us $500 off his regular fee and I had one guy go down half his price when he found out I was choosing another vendor who was cheaper.
I'm sure I left some things out. Just look up a wedding check list and check the items off as you go. Happy planning!
