Carry Out Your Wedding Theme with Matching Placecards and Place card holders
August 12, 2009
The difference is in the details!
A simple way to incorporate your wedding theme and your wedding colors on your reception tables is to use matching place cards and/or place card holders.
It’s a simple decorating stategy, but it’s not always easy to find matching place cards. That’s why Joyful Heart Design Custom Invitations offers matching place cards with every wedding invitation design. We can also print your place cards for you with your guest’s names, saving you lots of time.
For example, here is a Spring Garden Theme wedding invitation in yellow, green and brown, along with the matching place cards.
These were designed as tent cards, which fold and stand on their own. However, we would be glad to create the place cards as a flat card instead, to be used with a place card holder.
For instance, check out these lovely handblown glass miniature vase place card holders. Add some flowers in your wedding colors for a very elegant effect.
Or you could put your place cards inside an elegant gold frame, like the one below.
Or place them on top these adorable mini topiary place card holders.
My favorite place to shop for unique place card holders is MyWeddingFavors.com

Dream Wedding at a Dream Price
April 7, 2009
I have a great budget saving tip for you today. Actually it’s a lot of tips! And it comes from a true expert in the wedding business.
Brides magazine editor, Millie Martini Bratten, did an interview with ABC News on how to have a “Dream Wedding at a Dream Price.” She gave tons of great tips. Here are the highlights:
-
Save on decorating expenses by having your reception at a venue that is already decorated and/or furnished or at least partially decorated, like a botanical gardens or a banquet hall that has chandeliers and nice table covers, etc.
You can usually get better rates if you choose an off-peak date. For instance, choose a date other than Saturday that is not in May, June or July, which are the busiest times for wedding professionals.
Tweak the meal. Go with a garden salad rather than a fancy multi-ingredient salad. Serve 3 courses instead of 4.
Let the wedding vendors know what your budget is and what your dream is and ask them how they can help you.
