Votive Placecards made easy!

Hi girls!

There was a thread on BHB the other day about a company making pre-cut vellum for votive placecard holders.... I went to Michaels today (on route 110) and bought them-- they are really cool! It tells you which votive holders they are meant to go with and there is a website that has templates you can download right to Word to do them.... after you print them you just pop em out and stick em on.

Here's the website for the wraps... They were 40 labels for $4.99. Just thought I'd share for anyone looking to make these themselves!!

I have an idea for the hearts since I don't like them too much. Are they small enough to put a ribbon over them? I planned on putting ribbons on my votive candle holders anyhow. Now I would just put them on top.

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

Okay I'm going to try to answer everyone's questions at once LOL. I did get them at the Michael's on Route 110. They still had quite a bit left. They were towards the end of an aisle on a rack. I bought the packages of labels, and on the package is the website (the link that I posted, that includes a template for Word). They only come in the vellum, with the hearts on top. I would say the hearts are about a centimeter tall and a centimeter wide so if it's a thick ribbon it might fit over it. Azad, I'm sorry I told you too late! Maybe you could return the vellum if it's unopened? Also, I didn't buy ALL of the candles/votive holders yet, I am going to look around for the best price. I have a couple of sites saved and e-bay always has them cheap. As for the candles, I am going to use tea lights and probably get them at Bed Bath and Beyond cuz they have massive bags pretty cheap. I think I answered everyone... hope this helps!!

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

last question... do these need to be made with clear votives, or will the frosted work just as well?

I'm doing frosted because I personally think they look better - the light from the tealight is slightly more muted and the flickering throws off pretty shapes due to the frosting. Either will work fine though.

Re: Votive Placecards made easy!

OK call me crazy-but how will guests be able to pick up the candles if they are hot? If anyone has any instructions or templates they have used-please forward. Thanks,
