Please Be Seated

Five stunning ways to seat your guests. By Sadiya Dendar

1. Go Green
You won’t be the only one making a grand entrance at your wedding. Spruce up the entryway to your reception with this unique table card arrangement—perfect for spring and summer weddings. Simply attach your place cards and place card holders to small, potted plants (which can also double as your favours!). If you already have favours, stick your cards in potted grass and have your guests set the pots on their tables to be used as centrepieces.

2. DIY
If you’re crafty, try your hand at cork place cards. This simple yet elegant idea is a fun way to spend time with your bridesmaids. Depending on how many guests you’ve invited, start collecting old corks or check out a local craft store to pick some up. Shave the bottoms of the corks so they sit flat and slice a line thin enough to slide a name card through—voila perfect place cards. 

3. Edible Delights
Have a sweet tooth? Customized cookies are sure to be a hit with your guests. Names and table numbers can be beautifully scripted onto each cookie with icing in your wedding colour(s).

4. Eco Chic
If you’re looking for a way to give back to Mother Earth, here’s something for you. Plantable seed cards are handmade cards that contain seeds. Names are printed on the cards and when the wedding is over the cards can be planted to bloom year after year. Choose from a selection of wildflower seeds, herbal garden seeds or lavender seeds.

5. Sun and Sand
Planning a destination wedding? Check out some beachcomber flip-flop place card holders to complement your theme. They also double as photo or memo holders so you can use them as favours as well.
