I don't like the ones the hall gave us! Can everyone please post placecard or seating chart ideas and tell me where you got it and how much $... or if you did them yourself tell me how you did it and how much time it took.
Thanks!

Re: Placecard ideas
When the guests pick up the votive placecards do they burn their hands? Sorry if that's a silly question but I thought glass votives get very hot ...

Re: Placecard ideas
Here are a few ideas......the one with the carnations, you can have your florist do it for you.....it's easy and cheap!
You can also purchase blank placecards at staples and clear labels. Print out names on labels and put on placecard and then you can purchase those cute scrapbook accessories, such as pink flowers, wedding bells, etc. and adhesive tem to corner of placecard so it doesn't look plain and it's different, shouldn't take long to do........
Let me know if you need any help....I am always creating something crafty.
Good luck in finding something you like Julzz.
Edited to say that two photos did not post....I will try again Give me a sec....
Does anyone have the winter issue 2003 of martha stewart weddings? the directions w/ pictures are in there. It the issue with the cupcake cake on the front!

Re: Placecard ideas
If you are doing votive place cards how are you giving them out/displaying them so people dont have to carry them around during the entire cocktail hour?????? I wanted to do the votive place cards but I thought it would be annoying for guest to have to carry around the whole time and also look congested if they were brought out on a seperate table at the end of the cocktail hour (didnt want a mad rush or an unorganized mob trying to get to the table for the place cards.)

Re: Placecard ideas
I like posting pictures now that I figured out how to do it
And for whoever asked if you burn your hand.. as long as the glass is thick and they havent been burning a long time then no the guests wont burn themselves
my friends printed everyones name and table # on a clear lable and put them on a small class candle holder and then had tea lights lite up when everyone walked in... the pics looked great...
That's what I am doing!!!!!

Re: Placecard ideas
I love the plant idea! Thank You! I am fairly obsessed with placecard ideas...love the votives - thinking of wrapping something around them, or embedding in a flower. like this:
Julz- if you have no time, I would suggest going with the ones the hall gave you, and jazzing them up. I can't find the pic now, but someone from the knot used these clear, very classy pressed flower stickers - they were tiny and round, on the top of the placecard, and they looked just beautiful.
When the guests pick up the votive placecards do they burn their hands? Sorry if that's a silly question but I thought glass votives get very hot ...
The votive placecards use tea lights instead of votive candles to avoid this. May still be warm but not hot. Also, you would want your hall to keep them unlit until about 15 minutes before the end of the cocktail hour so they don't really have a chance to get too hot.

Re: Placecard ideas
That is what we are doing! The little round budvases with a black magic rose in each. The names and table number will be in calligraphy on a little white card. I thought it was so cute and was also worried about the votives getting too hot (they do look great though).

Re: Placecard ideas
I may order these. They are very pretty and very inexpensive!!!
And then I am placing them on these holders which are going to double as a favor.
I like posting pictures now that I figured out how to do it
I loved those! How are you doing them?

Re: Placecard ideas
Im going with no place card holders at all. I didn't like what the hall had.
Im going to use plain white card holders if I can't find red paper. And just stamp or write in Jim's last name (our name) in Chinese at the corner.
If I get red paper I'd do this in Gold. If I use white, I'll print in black.
They'll just be tented up.
The other idea was we were thinking of buying Chinese lucky coins.. (square opening in the middle) and show how getting them to be a base for the card.
