Wedding items that can be used for multiple functions

We always love things that can be used for dual purposes, especially if it’s creative at the same time. Take a look at some wedding items we found on www.marthastewartweddings.com that can be use for multiple functions for your wedding.


Coctail hour drinks that also have your guest name and table number.


Wedding Table Decorations
Boxes topped with flowers make a beautiful centerpiece; a table number is embroidered onto ribbon encircling the largest box. Inside, the stems sit in water bottles stabilized by crumpled paper. Favor boxes, which contain nonpareils, double as place cards.



Luggage Tag as a Place Card
Help guests find their seats by offering personalized luggage tags that make a functional keepsake. Print labels with lines for name, address, and phone number onto card stock (use the insert that comes with the tags as a template). Calligraph guests' names. Slip tag and decorative paper backing into the plastic cover. Loop cording through hole at top, and hang on chairs. Calligraphy by Nancy Howell.



Wine Bottles as Wedding Table Numbers
Have wine bottles do double-duty as table numbers. Cover-weight paper printed with large, graphic numerals can be adhered over existing labels with double-sided tape for a clean, contemporary look. It's a clever touch that will have guests drinking to your good fortune -- and your good taste. Cotton-linen table runner with black-and-white floral pattern from Anthropologie.
