Use old time-y Circus Peanuts to hold your place cards
Cheap, bright colors, perfectly smooshable with cardstock: candy Circus Peanuts were MADE for place card holders, you guys. Lauren and Stan’s turn-of-the century circus cards are a match if ever there was one. Circus Peanuts became really popular around the 1940s, so they have a very vintage, penny candy vibe. Plus, every one takes their seat and already has a sweet little nosh to tide them over.
Give your “perfect match” favors a new spin with fancy jars
Tim and Amy celebrated their own perfect match by giving out these jarred matches with custom labels as favors. I realize that matchbooks aren’t totally new favor territory, but you have to admit these look pretty snazzy and very “take home and display”-worthy.
Match your card box to your favorite reading
“A Lovely Love Story” by Edward Monkton is one of our reader favorites for sweet and light-hearted readings. It’s definitely on its way to becoming a classic. But the theme is also totally appropriate for card NOMing boxes! Rachel and Travis crafted this ultra rad dino inspired by the same book, which was one of their readings.
Seat your guests with a wee obliging tree
Kim and Jaymie had this little tree welcoming guests to find their placecard from its boughs. Kim’s mom handled making the cards, which were held on with mini clothespins! It added some arbor-style sweetness and a little more nature to the reception.
