DIY Place Cards

Place cards can be made in so many ways, but if you don't have the time to design one, or want to add a unique touch to it, or simply need something to hold it upright, then here are a couple ideas.  

Want to add a little beauty or add a touch of nature or just want a quick job and write in the name?   Add one of our beautiful butterflies to it available is variety of colors. 


Having a seaside, beach, or nautical theme?  Hold your place cards up with our plastic seashells and fill them up with sand, rocks, marbles or anything else of your choice.  


Having a rodeo, cowboy or western theme?  Use our cute, mini decorative cowboy hats to hold your place card up.  


Want to clip them on a clothesline or on a large poster board instead of setting them on the table?  Use our adorable mini clothesline clips to attach the cards and make it easy for your guests to locate and grab.  


Want a feminine touch to it and don't want to design anything?  A quick, small, dinner event with your closest?   Paste on some of our porcelain flowers available in a variety of colors for a touch of class.

The Things You Can Do With A Shell!

We have these simple, plastic shells that have really taken life with what our customers have decided to do with them.  We've seen such creative ideas, from babies resting in them for Baby Showers or Baptism, to an Under the Sea water theme, to Place Card holders.  It really is versatile and just needs the right dressings and theme.

Look at these beautiful shells filled with blue jello and edible gummy fish and pearls used for a Pool Party Themed Birthday Party.  Our client placed a beautiful scalloped monogram, designed by our partners - La Design Boutique, on the front of them.  They look so pretty that guests didn't want to eat them and really wanted to bring them home as party favors and keepsakes.


Another client used them as place card holders.  They were having a Beach/Seaside Themed Wedding and used the shells to hold the place cards up.  They then placed them in trays of sand with real shells scattered around them.  They filled the shells with Jordan Almonds for the guests to eat.  


For a classic party favor, dress it up with any of our ribbons in stock and a personalized monogram on the outside and fill them in with anything you'd like whether it be traditional Jordan Almonds or something more unique.  You can also put them in one of our organza pouches for extra packaging to make it look even more elegant for your guests to take home.  The ideas are truly endless and we love seeing what our customers think of!
