If you're planning a wedding with over a hundred guests, you can't expect to spend quality time with every individual. But one way to make each person feel welcome, is to leave a little note on the back of their place-card. Just a sentence about why they're special to you would be enough - or maybe a short, shared memory? Anything to give them a glow as they sit down to eat.

Other ways of 'talking' to your guests without having to actually strike up a conversation, is to decorate your venue with messages. From a simple 'Wedding' sign pointing out the direction to the reception, to a chalked welcome message on a blackboard - it's good to talk!

And the conversation doesn't have to be one way. Guest-books make a regular appearance at weddings, but for a more original idea, ask your guests to sign a giant platter. Barefoot Ceramics can provide you with everything you need through the mail, and you can even bake the finished item in your home oven.
