I am officially INSANE... Please Help!!!!!!!

So.. I've gone mad!!!! Really

For the past three days, all I've been doing - work and at home - is looking for a place card frame... and... I JUST CAN'T FIND ONE!!!!


My colors are ivory / gold.... Gold is difficult - often just looks tacky. I am trying to go for victorian/classic - elegant is there even such a thing???

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Where have you looked? Have you tried Michaels? They have a lot of frames there. I saw some tainted brass type ones there. (similar to gold, but has a little black in it- not explaining well) I got frames for our engagement pictures there. I framed the wallet sized and gave one to everyone in the BP (on both sides).

Michaels is a craft store (chain)

Link to Michaels web site

You can find the locations on their web site. (If your in NYC, they do not have a store there ) But there are quite a few on LI.

Ok, take a look at these and see if you like anything about any of them -- be specific and then I will use your feedback to help find more. I think maybe you just need a rest from this.



Thanks for helping me look! I really do think I need help... I can't even sleep at night thinking about this!!!!! And its still a year away!!!
It has to be a frame - that is what my mother wants and the only reason I am even doing this is because she asked and will be paying for it.
The second..I like the simplicity of it, but its a little too shiny - I don't really like shiny gold...

Since I already am using cherubs for the guestbook (which will probably be on the same table as the placeholders? ) I don't want to introduce any more shapes... so I don't think the bells will work ?

The last one I like.. but I don't think white will work - unless I spray paint it...? but that I don't know if it'll come out right since its so rich...

Please help! me!
