Wedding Placards

A man and woman got a divorce. That's bad.

But then they got married again. That's good.

But while they were divorced, the woman had taken out a personal protection order against her ex-husband. That's bad.

But everyone forgot about it when they were remarried. That's good.

Except the police. That's bad.

WEDDING TABLE NAME PLACARDS
If we were honest

People We Didn't Think Would Come

People Our Parents Made Us Invite

People We Invited Only Because They Invited Us To Things

Relatives We Haven't Seen For Most Of Our Adult Lives

People We Think Will Give Really Good Gifts

Sorry, But You Are....?
