Meet Paul Smotrys, metalsmith of Gauge nyc. Paul actually made metal table numbers for me for a wedding I styled for Martha Stewart Weddings at the Rainbow Room, way back…a long time ago. We recently met up again at the National Stationery Show in New York City and I’m so happy to see that he has a jewelry line as well which you can buy directly on his Etsy.com shop.  I find most people are always stumped on what to do for their table numbers for their wedding or a large event. These metal numbers stand up on their own and are a sleek and chic option to the standard card with a printed number. Paul also makes letters, so you could name your tables instead of having numbers. (For example some couples have named tables after cities/locations that are important to them.) His initial necklaces are a perfect bridesmaid gift too! I hope you’ll check out his site and see what he has to offer. There are endless possibilities with what you can do when you have the entire alphabet at your disposal. -Lynn Butler Beling
