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.
