A delicious meal will go down even better if you mix some cool photo strips into your table setting. You can attach a photo strip bearing a guest’s name to their wine glass or lean it against their water glass. These photo strips make a great keepsake for your guests. The photos, which resemble those from a photo booth, can be reused, e.g. as a handy bookmark.

The photo strips come in sets of five. You can use various templates to create the strips. Choose photo strips with or without a frame and with a background colour that ties in with your table decor.

Of course, your imagination doesn’t have to be confined to your table decorations. Why not create a custom mug, placemats or photo coasters to match the style of your home interior? These, too, can be designed to your precise specifications. Depending on which design you choose, they can also make a great keepsake for your guests to take home with them.
