Fall is upon us and you may soon be hosting a dinner party or even Thanksgiving dinner. Use these five unique place card ideas to add some festive fun to your table this fall. Included are also a few options of things you can find to purchase or create to add a handmade touch. Either way, this is one fun dinner party idea that your friends will never forget.
You can purchase a few items at your local craft or hobby store that will make great place cards. Chalkboard tags are one option that is easy to personalize, and they are completely reusable. Here we purchased chalkboard tags that are attached to a small clothes pin. These work perfectly on the side of a plate to let everyone know where to sit.
Small wooden letters can also be purchased and come in a variety of sizes. Here we used a small wooden letter that has a dark wood stain applied. You can add a hole for hanging or just drop onto your place setting. These could also be gorgeous favors for your guests as they leave. They would make great ornaments for the upcoming Christmas season.
Artificial pumpkins look great on the table for any fall meal. You can turn those into place cards easily with some colorful tape and a wooden dowel. Make a flag from the tape and insert the dowel into a foam pumpkin for a simple solution that will look great on your seasonal table.
If you want to get a little more crafty, cut two pumpkins out of paper. Slit each one so they fit together as shown. One pumpkin should be slit a little over halfway from the top and the other from the bottom. Once your paper pumpkin is assembled, just attach a name with gold tape and wire. This is one inexpensive place card that your guests will love.
A super simple trick is to pick up blank 3×5 index cards. When folded in half, they are the perfect size for a place card. Dress them up with some glitter tape and you have a gorgeous place card in just seconds.
