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.

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.
