Place Card Holders

by Wedding Favors Today on February 18, 2010

If you believe that simplicity is beauty, you will do well in choosing place card holders as wedding favors because they are the very simplest yet they have a variety of uses.  It all boils down to your personal taste and style when you are choosing the theme for the wedding favors you will give to the guests who will attend your big day.

For instance, if you are having a summer wedding, you might want to consider place card holders that are shaped like flowers or leaves.  Colors also play a very important role in completing the effect of the card holders as wedding favors.

  • Kissing Bells- These are fun for guests as they can use it every time they want to see the lovely couple kiss.  Instead of using the spoon against the glass, they can simply ring the little bell to see some smooching.
  • Seashells- You might not have a beach themed wedding but you can certainly use seashells as place card holders/paper weight.  They are decorative, useful, and whimsical all rolled into one.
  • Pretty in Pink Collection Handbag- You might want to have something exclusively for female guest and this is the perfect choice.  It is very feminine but still extremely useful.  If you go for this, you should also have something that is exclusively for men.
  • Butterfly Candle and Card Holder- Now this is what you call innovative.  You can give your guests a card holder that doubles as a candle holder as well.  The best part is that they can use it for both functions at the same time.
  • Topiary Card/Photo Holders- Going Green?  This is the best option for you if the wedding happens to be nature themed.  These miniature topiaries can also be used as an ornament to be placed on the office desk which would give a very soothing effect to tired eyes.
  • Snow Flurry Place Card holders- These are perfect for winter weddings.  They are very cute and extremely usable.
  • Heart Designed Topiary- A very nice version of the topiary photo holders is this elegantly designed piece.  It is still green and natural but it does spell everlasting love more clearly.

Ordering Place Card Holders
