Flavored Breadstick Place Cards

Serve up a winning combination by having place cards display not only guest names but also elegant hors d'oeuvres. Thin breadsticks are enriched with a lively flavor and hue when they're infused with extracts of beet, carrot, parsley, or tomato.

Wire Card Holders

Make graceful holders with swirls that enhance a card's design. These are actually pieces of inexpensive radio wire -- cloth-covered wire, used in vintage radios, that is available in a variety of colors online (look for solid, not stranded, wire). Give it a new twist for a wedding, and it can hold place cards, menus, and more.

Propped Note

Between the tines of a dessert fork, a small calligraphed envelope holds a greeting from the bride and groom. You might consider printing several different messages on the cards so that guests don't all get the same one.

Clementine Place Cards

Mini oranges tucked inside strips of folded parchment paper bring warm color to the reception table -- they're also a nice palate cleanser between courses. Punch leaves from heavy paper, and have guests' names calligraphed. Tie on with waxed twine. (Craft punch by Family Treasures, calligraphy by Nancy Howell.)

Fabric Flowers

Fabric flowers make a pretty, wilt-proof way for guests to find their seats and then sport as corsages or boutonnieres. Simply use floral tape to attach a brooch pin to the stem of a fabric flower (these are from Dulken and Derrick). Have a calligrapher pen names onto strips of card stock, then punch small holes on one end, and slip pins through.
