Looking for Bride and groom place card idea

Hello ladies,

I'm hoping all you DIY people out there can give me some ideas on way to distinguish where Cain and I will sit for our wedding dinner. We want to be at the center of our table. Please post some ideas...

Of fun - a new challange:

I am going to get the creative juices flowing, but these are your standard place card holder ideas.

I looked here:
Wedding Placecard Holders - Place card holders - Escort cards
Classic Wedding Supplies From TheKnot=

or this is simple:

On a more amusing note--- you could have a custom bobble head made in your likeness to sit at your place setting. :)

(Frank and I came across them on E-Bay last night and thought it would be hysterical to have them made for all our guests as their place setting at the table! *hehehe*)

Mikki, do you want to give me nightmares, all I need is a bobble head that looks like me.. lol

Ann, do you think it will be odd to just do those for the B & G?

I don't think it would be odd to distinguish where you and Cain are going to sit. I think that's pretty normal...obviously the bride and groom should be seated so that they're right in the middle of things. Better to mark it so guests know and aren't embarassed by being shooed away or made to move . . .or so that you guys aren't stuck in some weird position that you can't see everything etc.

You could do place cards...I actually love the palm trees! Or even look into decorating your chairs or something....flowers, ribbons - even a cute little sign hung w/ ribbon that says "bride" and "groom" respectively.

i don't think so - i think it's a simple way to designate where the bride & groom will be sitting. you could do custom votives too, or larger candles

I like that idea too - you could even make a cute sign with "Just Married" and hang it over your chairs together - no one would sit there!

Hmm I like the "Just Married" sign idea. I can make two one for Cain that says "Just" and mine that says "married". Cute.. And it should be pretty simple to do..

Thanks.

The Just Married signs are a great idea!
