I was going to go all nutty with them...get these cute little place card holders and get fancy place cards printed up, but then everyone I told that to persuaded me that it was just a waste of money. My one friend put it perfectly...all the formal parties and weddings that I went to, have I ever kept the stand for the place card..? So, I decided that 200 / 300 for all the place cards will be spent on something else for the wedding. Every little bit helps... HTH... LOL I will be using the ones my halls supplies and just having them folded in half standing on their own....
That;s a very valid point and that's kind of what I'm stuck on too. I guess I will have to see if I can find cheap place cards.
Mine were only about $1 each so i figured ehhh whats another $100?
Me too! I keep doing that with everything, and it's really starting to add up (place cards, slipper baskets, bouquet jewels, etc.)

Re: Place Cards
We are using wine corks!! We have everyone in the family saving their wine corks! Then I'm going to glue little crystals on them and slice a slit in them (you have to cut off a little to make them stand on their side) and then stick the place card into them! It goes with our 'glamorized vineyard' theme..

Re: Place Cards
i am doing a framed seating chart. alphabetical order. we are also naming our tables not numbering.
ETA: the first pic wouldnt post.........lets try this again!
I'm using the RH place cards because it's not worth the money in my opinion. However, I am going to get table names made up instead of numbers, and got cute red and gold ornament holders for those at Michael's.

I don't know if I can explain this, but I'll try. The guests name will be on the outside of the envelope and inside there will be a card with the table number. Hope that makes sense.
How do you get them to stand up so they can be seen?
I was thinking of doing little envelopes with names and table numbers on the front and my favor donation information on the inside. Haven't found cards w/envelopes smaller than response card size.
Where did you find the cards and envelopes?
The store I looked at for invitations presented the idea to me. They stand up just be leaning on the back of the envelope, you don't seal them. I am going to have them displayed on beach glass. Try any invitation store.
