A Lavender Toile Pattern and Monogram for Classic Tables
A soft lavender toile pattern of flower sprigs covers this card, like vintage wallpaper or fine china. A translucent white panel with a thin lavender frame sits in the middle. At the top, the couple’s initials R and S sit either side of a thin line, followed by a small flower sprig, the guest name, Charlotte Anderson in the sample, in a lavender serif and TABLE 5 in bold capitals. It feels refined and timeless.
Monogram Above the Name
The card is 3.5 x 2 inches. The monogram ties every card to the couple or hosts, which makes the set feel personal even though each card carries a different guest name.
Initials, Name and Table
Replace R and S with your own initials, usually the couple’s first initials or a shared family initial. Type each guest name and table number. Lavender text on a pale panel is soft, so check readability in print.
Preparing the Monogram Cards
- Set your initials.
- Type each guest name.
- Set the table.
- Print on white card.
- Cut and place.
Choosing a Monogram Style
Couples often use both first initials, such as R and S. Families may use a single surname initial. Whatever you choose, keep it the same on invitations, napkins and the cake for a consistent look. A monogram also helps tie favours, napkins and the cake together.
Garden Parties and Bridal Showers
Lavender toile suits garden parties, bridal showers, high teas and spring weddings. It pairs nicely with lavender sprigs or pale purple flowers on the table.
Printing Soft Lavender
Pale lavender can print grey on some printers. Make a test print and darken the name text slightly if it looks faint.
Handwriting Names on the Lavender Panel
For a handwritten look, delete the name text and write each name with a fine lavender or grey pen. The white panel takes ink well.
Matching Favour Tags
Shrink the design to make favour tags for small gifts at each place setting.
Using the Monogram Cards
Place them the morning of the event.
