Wedding Place Cards

Place cards don't have to be limited to paper tents lined up on a table! It's fun to think outside of the box and come up with a unique way to display their guests' names and seating assignments that go with their wedding theme! Sometimes, you can even have the place cards double as a wedding favors for your guests, which can help you keep your budget down! For my wedding, I'd like to stick mini wooden "signs" with my guests' names handwritten on them into berry cartons that will line the table. This will help set the theme for our wedding and also help to incorporate our berry tones! I haven't figured out the logistics yet, but if/when I do, I will be sure to them them! For now, here's what other brides have done to spice up their place cards!



I love the idea of attaching guests names to a horseshoe for a rustic wedding... and the pinwheels are simply adorable for a spring or summer wedding! For an outdoor wedding, hanging your place cards from a clothesline works great, or, try wrapping a strings in circles around a tree and hanging them from there! I also liked the traditional " tent"place cards on top of the rocks with the flowers around them. Placing them in a container on top textured objects is a low-cost, high impact way to display place cards! Some ideas are using small stones (for a Zen-like feel), cranberries (perfect for a fall wedding!), flower pedals, sand (for a beach wedding!), small candy, grass, bird seed, and coffee beans.

I created these collages of unique place cards using images are from The Knot, Chic Soiree Wedding and Event Planning, and Huckleberry Karen Designs.
