Bring back the romance and joy of the day you said “I do” with these charming, personalized thank-you cards you can print from your computer. By Martha Stewart

Parents know what a lifesaver those kid-friendly paper place mats (think: mazes, connect the dots, word-finder puzzles) can be at a restaurant. Here’s a more updated (read: attractive) interpretation of that idea, perfect for a dedicated children’s table at your reception. Print these whimsical yet functional activity place mats, created for us by New York City-based artist Jason Polan, onto 11-by-17-inch white paper. Arrange them on a colorful tablecloth for contrast (as we did here). And set the table with clear glass plates and plastic utensils positioned just so over the writing. You could also scatter a few cupfuls of crayons here and there for circling answers and doodling. from Martha stewart

Personal photographs make a reception space feel like home, and you don’t need a hammer and nails to display them. Gather pictures of the bride and groom as children, plus relatives’ wedding portraits; arrange on ribbons with calligraphed labels. Hang by the seating-card table for all to see.
