Preppy Wedding Placecards

I got an e-mail last week from Sarah. She is in the final stages of wedding planning for her September Connecticut soiree and was looking for some preppy ideas on how to display place cards at her sit down reception.

I’ve got a few ideas for her (and all of you), so here goes ….

How about writing handwritten notes to your guests and addressing the envelope with their table number. I like these mini notes from papersource, but Kate’s Paperie is a good source too. You can coordinate with your wedding colors and it certainly sets the tone for a personalized, intimate wedding. If your wedding is outdoors, string some twine and use clothespins to attach the notes. Hydrangeas are the theme of Sarah’s wedding, so I like using them as a bed to display handwritten stark white cards. Or she could create mini hydrangea topiaries that look like this precious potted moss placecard? And better yet, it doubles as a favor.

I also like this preppy Martha ribbon board. This looks to be pretty easy to make and it would also be easy to customize to your wedding colors. And what’s a preppy wedding without a little grossgrain?


Here are some pictures with links to some other favorites (all from Martha - she is the best).

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
