My DIY placecard holders..with pics

I wanted continue on that whole bird theme on my invites (I had two bird silhouettes that I used repeatedly). So I decided to fold origami cranes in all different designs...and tuck each person's name and table number into them. Of course, I will actually have the stuff typed out and not written in my awful penmanship.

What do you think?!

Here's how they look all together in a mini-fleet

Re: My DIY placecard holders..with pics

I love the idea, I think its really original and a nice personalized touch. Very Martha Stewart-esque

But IMHO the hand written placecard info takes away from it a little bit.

I think it would be a huge improvement if the info was printed out in a pretty font.

ETA: I'm sure these were just for a trial run, just offering a suggestion.
