Saima designed this incredible display - no two es**rt cards were shaped alike - and when guests pulled their cards off of the board, family photos of the guests of honor were revealed. Clever and gorgeous, Saima’s stock and trade. I had fun configuring the names onto the shapes and am thrilled by the result! Cheers to the happy couple!
