When planning your reception, place cards are an easy way to organize your seating. This usually means you need place card holders though! If you desire more than just the plain cardboard tent shaped place cards, or wire clip, there are endless options for you to choose from. Here are some unique ideas for your place card holders.

If you are having a tropical or beach themed wedding you can purchase miniature Adirondack chairs to serve as place card holders. Or you can purchase, either in a craft store or online, large seashells. To these shells you can simply use a hot glue gun to attach a small metal clip, which can be purchased at office supply stores, to your shell to serve as a place card holder. Later, your guests can take this home and use them as picture holders.

For a floral or Victorian style place card holder go to a craft store, and purchase some floral foam or Styrofoam in small squares or disk shapes. You can stick a piece of wire with a clip attached in the center, secured with hot glue if you like. Then simply insert some silk flowers of your choosing all around to fill in the empty spots.

You can also look in local craft or mass merchandise stores for unique picture frames for wallet-sized prints. Candleholders can also make a good place card holder. Small inexpensive figurines can be adapted with a small clip as well.

Open your mind and think outside the box. You can find just about anything you want to fit your wedding theme to use as place card holders.
