Unusual place cards - please help!

We are getting married in October and are starting to think about decoration of our venue and how the tables will look.

One thing we can't figure out is how to to our place cards. We want to do something unusual in stead of just having cards. Things we've seen before that we like are baubles with names on at a December wedding and names written on ivy leaves.

Can anyone think of something we can do which is appropriate to Autumn? All I can think of is writing everyone's names on conkers, but I don't think I'll be able to collect 100 conkers!

Please help!

    Hi Gemma - welcome to Hitched

    I've seen this done effectively before . . . apples sprayed gold (could use edible gold food colouring) and a tiny tag tied to the stem. Or split the stem and slot the name tag on the stem.

    Or place tags which are actual fallen leaves - using permanent metallic calligraphy pens.

    Cookies with names written on with icing.

    Lollipops or toffee apples with name labels tied on . These will also double as favours!

    Hi - we can make your place cards on chocolate bars! As we have plain white wrappers we can find you an autumn them to go on them, or you can choose from one of our designs. Have a look at our website (details below) and let me know if we can help.

    If not have a great time planning, and a lovely day!

    Hi There, welcome ?

    I would think something with leaves, or you could use something in the autumn colour scheme that is not necessary autumn -ish in itself.



    I'm not sure if this helps...

    If you do want to go the conkers route you can buy them from ebay. They're sold as spider repellants every autumn. There's a couple of old listings still knocking around on there at the moment - my godson got ten conkers for £1 last year!

    I am planning on having something like this...


    With a photo of each person on the front and their table name on the back, but they will all be attached to ribbon with mini pegs with little elephants like this on them. Elephants are less random than they sound, my fiancé's surname means elephant in Russian!


    Not seasonal at all, but I love to flash!

    I'm having my wedding in August and have nicked this idea from a wedding mag; green apples with little cards in them with the names on, stuck in with headed pins.
