Attach to a Flower Stem

Using a wooden peg to help you attach your place card to a flower stem is a different way to style your guests names instead of having them just flat. It adds a bit more interest and also won't move position.

Peg to your glassware 

For a unique look why not add it to your wine glasses on the table. This is a great way to style them to ensure your guests see their name easily when approaching the table. And your charger plates may already look full with cutlery. napkins and a menu.

Lay them on top

Layering your place cards on top of other items helps to give you a well styled look. Use napkins and foliage to help you create a good foundation.

 

In a place card holder

Card holders are also great for having the guests name cards facing outwards for ease of finding their place. Having them in holders gives a different look to your tables.
