When putting your stamp on your big day, don't forget about the smaller details...yes, even the ones under the dinner plates. One of the elements on the reception table that your guest is guaranteed to see is the place mat, so why not make it a little more special than the standard square piece of fabric. One easy way to do this is to use something besides fabric.  Companies like Zazzle.com can print just about any picture you want and laminate it to make a custom place mat. Pretty much any paper item can be laminated, and images can be printed on canvas, fabric, and other materials.  However, the choice you make as to what type of image or material you use is what will set your table apart. Some of your options may include vintage event programs, vintage brochures, old maps, famous artwork, children's art, handmade paper or fabric, technical draftings, book illustrations, the possibilities are endless. You could make it more personal with items you collect or family photos, or you can just go with items you and your partner both love, or what you feel would go best with your theme. The most important thing is that you love it, and it speaks about you as a couple.
