Re: anyone one else?
I am, sort of.
We are using little pretied bouquets of lavender...we're going to tie a silver ribbon around them and on the ribbon will be a little card with the person's name and their table #.
They will definitely be labor intensive...they don't come with silver ribbon, so we'll have to untie all the ribbon it comes with and tie on our own sliver ribbon, not to mention print/cut all the pieces of paper with the seating on them.

I am...I'm making a board and am pinning them up. I'm going to print them on business cards at my dad's printing.

Re: anyone else?
My mother and I were actually just talking about this last night. I still am up in the air about this one. Apparently my mother's friend's daughter (who just got married this past year) did them herself and she said it was a nightmare because they came out horrible and took a lot longer than they thought. So - I really want to do them myself to save $, but, I am wondering if it would just be easier to save myself the stress and aggrivation to have them printed where I got my invites. Although...Fh said he could take care of the printing for them....so maybe I will give them to him as his project...something to think about.

Re: anyone else?
I am. I wanted something a little nicer than the handwritten ones from the RH. So I bought white ones with a silver border from Michael's and I bought sticky back rhinestones to put on them for a little extra bling

Yes, I bought the Eyelet style placecards from Martha Stewart and I'll print them myself. I'm working on a cool presentation for them to spice it up.

I bought a few kits at Michael's for $5 each and will run them through the printer. I already did the test sheet and it was totally easy!
Fox Hollow provides some but I think they are hideous.

Re: anyone else?
My RH provides them so I don't plan on doing anything extra.

Re: anyone else?
i'm planning on it! we have a ton of extra cardstock left over from the invitations so i'm going to cut that down and then use labels that i can just print and stick on. i'll probably use a paper cutter or something to make them a little prettier

Re: anyone else?
I'm doing my own! Bought some cute ones off of ebay. If I can't print them, I'll just have to wrote them in. No biggie, people just throw them out or leave them behind anyway!

I'm printing my own. I bought the imprintable 12 pack of place cards from Party City, I need 17 packages so it all came up to $33 after my $10 off coupon.

Re: anyone else?
for $10 i would have someone else do them just so its one less thing you have to worry about.

Re: anyone else?
This and limos are the items I am dreading most....
I'm toying with the idea of doing the votive candle holders.
If I don't do that, I may just have the invite company do them since they offer the service. My mom suggested I use the halls, but their cards don't match my theme at all.
