Placement Card Ideas

[nickolsae]

I am having a wedding on Lake Geneva WI in September. Does anyone have any fun ideas for place cards????

What about those cute anorandak (sp?) charis as placecards? they remind me of the lake!

Pinecones. Either plain or spraypainted or dipped in metalic paint.

http://www.lakegenevawi.com/ Apparently has some fun facts. You could do local comic strip characters or something from inspired from this page.

Great suggestions!! I saw the chairs online and they do look cool. I had an idea of getting little wooden speed boats that will hold the placement cards but i cant seem to find anywhere that sells them. Any ideas???

Thanks!!!!

Someone on another wedding website I frequent did origami swans as her placecard holders, I thought that was so cute and thoughtful. I am just planning to do classic tented cards as follows:

Here is another idea I toyed with but have since rejected b/c of cost ... little potted roses:

I love the potted roses! But I agree they would be pretty costly. You havent seen any wooden boat place cards holders on the best sites have you? Thanks,

We had a small wedding (28 guests) and I used cache pots, like those pictured, but ours were black (ordered from Pottery Barn for $1.50 a piece). I stenciled each guest's name on the side and we planted kalanchoe about 3 weeks before the wedding. It made for a beautifull table so we didn't have to buy a centerpiece (we all sat at one huge table), which ended up saving us money.

Found these from Davids Bridal, not sure if you''ve seen them or what they''re looking for, but I thought of you when I came across them!

I know you asked for placeholders, but these were kinda cute so I figured I''d post them anywho - Frosted Glass Sailboat Tealight Holders

These you could use for placeholders, but I''m not sure if it''s the right style you''re looking for - Handcrafted Wooden Sailboat Frames

I love the wooden sailboats!!! How great are those!!!

I wasn''t sure how much you wanted to spend on them, but I figured I''d post them so you''d at least see that they''re out there! I thought they were cute though
