Need creative, Non-votive / non-paper place card ideas

I wanted to do votive place cards for my reception, but I can't do that.

Any creative suggestions? I'd prefer they not be paper or picture frames either. I considered the photo coasters. I'd get a set and tie them with a navy ribbon and put the names / table inside the top one...

I thought of Hershey bars and making labels / tying with ribbon for place cards... but that was my idea for the RD. I wanted to do that for the RD b/c it's being hosted by my FI's parents, who are from Hershey, PA where my FI grew up.

Any other ideas?

I got little circle antique looking frames. and I am going to type the names and table numbers in them on my computer in calligraphy font. They look so cute!

A friend of mine did little metal tins, they were each filled with seeds and a small poem of how to plant the seeds. I think it was seeds for about fifteen different flowers.
