I'm not sure what your theme is... but I have heard of people using things like: a piece of fruit with a paper flag stuck in it, polished stones that they wrote on with a paint pen (from a craft store), or folded pieces of cardstock. I've seen a lot of fancy place card holders that I love, but @ $5/each... its just not in the budget.

Good luck and congrats!!

Don't forget the ever-famous wine cork place holder! A bag of corks can be bought for just a few dollars, if you don't think you will be able to imbibe the number of bottles needed to fill every seat position before your big day! Just slit the cork, and stand computer printed or hand printed cards. Simple card stock cut by hand can add a charming, hand-crafted look.

Have you gone to your local dollar stores? Dollar tree, Jack's 99 cent city sell so many cheap options

Thank you for all the responses. great ideas!!! i think i will be looking for fruit and/or corks....as for a theme i don't have one. Do i really need one? My wedding and reception are both outside.

You should check out www.orientaltrading.com, they have nice and affordable place card holders.

Look at walmart and target they often have several things on sale at different times ! look there i have found all kinds of things when i am not even looking for them. Also try ebay!

I have gotten most of my stuff from oriental trading company. They are great and have fab prices. thank you all so much for all your help. so i'm so stress out about this whole place card thing that i had a dream lastnight that gave me an idea. I purchased little flower girl and ring bearers rubber ducks for everyone that's coming to the wedding. What if i tie a ribbon around them with each persons name attached to it.

Ok so i went with the corks. thanks to everyone for your help!

My future sister in law took ribbon in her colors and hung the place cards from a tree/bush and it only cost here like 15 bucks and it looked really cute!

Ebay.....or depending on what your theme is there are little place card holders u can get at the dollar store or even walmart that are cheap and are really nice. unless u are doing a theme wedding.

Have you already bought your place cards? If you wanted to cut our place card holders completely you could simply buy the place cards that fold. If you are worried that it will look too plain there are a lot of pretty looking place cards you can print yourself at Michaels and other office/craft supply stores. Good luck!

Oops just kidding you already found them. Awesome!
