What you'll make
You print each table number on white cardstock, trim it to 5 x 7 inches and slide it into a $1.25 wooden frame from Dollar Tree. A ready-made 5x7 acrylic number with a stand costs $7.95 per table on Etsy, so a set of 13 saves you around $86. The frames stand on their own and go home with guests or into a closet afterwards.
