Unique Place Cards

Seating guests in style is a small detail that can go a long way. With unique place card holders, your wedding guests will find their seat with delight.

A traditional place card may be a note card folded over with a guest’s name printed on it. This is very functional, but you can make it fun with a few unique variations:

Framed place card holders can present an elegant or casual style. Silver frames are very classy and perfect for traditional and classic wedding styles. Mix it up and make it casual with fun shaped photo frames. Sandal or heart shaped frames are great for a themed wedding!

Mini photo albums can pull duty as place card holders. Instead of inserting the picture in the front, insert your place card. The guests can also take these tiny treats home as wedding favors. www.beau-coup.com

Mini bud vases are cute and sweet as place card holders. Insert a dainty flower and attach the place card.

Mini flower pots add a garden touch. Stick a wire in some foam and insert in the tiny flower pots or paint the name of your guest on the outside of the pot and stick in a pack of seeds for fun.

Sea shell place card holders are a beach combers delight. Use them at your themed wedding to prop up place cards on calm days or weight them down in style against warm ocean breezes.

Playing card place card holders-Vegas style! Unleash your inner high roller with playing cards; either have them printed with each guest’s name or make them yourself from decks of cards. Want to add high stakes? Use casino chips instead. You can find companies that can custom print you deck of cards or your stack of chips.

Napkin place card holders are simple but can make a very stylish impression. There are many ways to do this: print out slips of paper with names and use rubber cement to make them into napkin rings, or, if you’re feeling crafty, bend colorful wire in to napkin rings with added beads and bangles and slip a place card in each one.

Edible place card holders, a yummy pre-dinner treat, will leave only a sweet impression. Bake mini cupcakes, frost with your colors and add a small wire place card holder to the top. Your guests can eat their place card holders as they wait for dinner and other guests to arrive.

Wedding favor bags can also be used as place card holders. Fill little bags with your desired candy and tie with a cute ribbon. Attach printed or handmade place cards to each bag by the ribbons and give your guests something they can take home.

Place cards can also be used to tell your story: how you met, where he proposed. These are elegant and personal, and your guests will be touched you shared this with them.
