Pebble Table Number
Here's a beautiful way to weight menus at an outdoor wedding -- and identify tables at the same time. For each plate, you'll need a smooth, unpolished stone -- we used Mexican beach pebbles. Add the table number with a rubber stamp and ink pad. Do the stamping a day or two before the wedding so ink can dry.
