Place Cards.

Ughh Wednesday. I know I have posted about place cards before. But I came across this nifty idea, courtesy of my aunt, or as I know her YA YA! Place Cards, and name cards can tend to look tacky, with all the cursive writing and the long names. I recently went to a wedding and they had no place cards, only a board with the names and table designations. I didn't like that too much. This type of place setting may not be ideal for a large event or a wedding, but if your having a dinner party or some kind of seated event at your house or in a small banquet room, these are totally appropriate.

D.I.Y How To: Your going to have to find the rusty nails or any other object you might want to string together.

• Bunch 8 -10 nails
• Tie with raffia, yarn or rope (your choice)
• Add first or both initials and a trinket of your choice

(Trinkets and letter tags available at Micheal's)

I know right?!

DIY Place Cards.

I'm very used to going to the big- sort of gaudy Italian Weddings and Retirement Parties, Birthdays etc. etc. (Trust me the list goes on) I've almost come to expect the big red heart with the #2 on it. Or the Italian Flag chocolate that barley fits your name. And these things cost money! I mean like a decent chunk of change. Why bother?

My suggestion: Make you own, it can be a fun experience for you and your bridal party or your family (dependant on the event). This way your allowed to put a little bit more of "you"into the event. The more "you"that there is the more people will enjoy themselves, and the more you will enjoy yourself.

Check out these cutie place cards, and maybe a Micheal's Craft Store or two.

Have a nice weekend!

Place Card Fun.

Make your guest's name's stand out! Try one of these neat ideas. Most of the times you can make them yourself and have them look more authentic. Money saver people!!

Love!
