Jul 27th, 2009 Posted in shopping | no comment »

So you are planning the reception and you want to make sure your guest find their seats. Obviously this is one of the biggest headaches when planning weddings. You need to make sure that everyone is seated properly and that you made sure that you didn’t put together two aunts that aren’t on speaking terms or siblings in a middle of a feud. It is often hard enough when done by professionals, so how much more so for you the amateur bride. A great way to execute your seating arrangement is using placecard holders. Here are some ideas to help you look for the place card holders that will meet your needs

Make them visible. A placeholder that can’t be seen is one not doing its job. Visible might mean different things depending on the place settings and flower arrangements. Find items that display the guest’s name clearly and can be immediately seen as they approach the table. It will make seating happen more quickly when guests can identify where their assigned spot. Visible can mean different things depending on what style of place card holder you are aiming for so make sure to find something that achieves this purpose without clashing with the scenery

Use unique designs. This is another way to make sure your seating immediately draws your guests’ eyes to what they need to know. If it has some distinct shape it becomes easier to identify. Try out different types, shapes, and colors. The main thing to keep in mind is that they attract they eye but at the same time don’t mess up the design scheme of your place setting. Keep both goals in mind to make a balanced decision that you won’t regret later when everything is finalized and it’s too late to change it.

Take your guest’s needs into account. Every person that comes to your reception will most likely be different having different physical abilities and some with handicaps. Keep that in mind when choosing and designing your place card holders. You might have an elderly guest who has poor eyesight. Or some one who is color blind think about each person on the guest list and see if you can find ways to use the placecard holder to make it easier to find their seat. A great idea is to call people on your guest list in advance to anticipate any such needs. Not only will it be appreciated it will help things go smoothly.

Find ways to personalize your holders. You can take the opportunity to make sure your place setting is easily recognizable with photos, special messages, and other decorative touches. The goal is make them stand out immediately for your guests. Personalizing not only meets this purpose it can turn seating cards into favors themselves. Something that your guests can take home with them as a memento of the occasion.

In the end the goal is simply make it easier for your place card holders to be seen. This will make it easier for people to get to where they are supposed to be seated. Some might wonder why it’s necessary to put so much thought into them. However, as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Finding possible problems such as with your place card holders will only help your reception run much more smoothly. It will help unpleasantness and potential disasters remain distant concerns.

This special feeling of the season can serve as an excellent theme for your wedding and you can best incorporate it by giving out spring themed wedding favors and garden favors.

So how do you best bring out the beauty of spring and gardens in your guest gifts? First try finding a new spin on the gifts by using flowers and springtime items in original ways. You can take hints from the location where you are holding the marriage ceremony whether it is a local one like your hometown or at some exotic location. Second draw on the symbolism of the season when giving gifts. The point of incorporating the theme of spring is to convey a special message about your marriage. Third think of unique ways to present the favors to guests. Use the theme of spring and the garden to find original ways to present the gifts to guests.

The location of the ceremony can play a vital role in deciding what to incorporate into the spring theme of your guest presents. Every location experiences springtime in a different way. If you decide to hold the ceremony in the town or city where you live, use the local flowers in the design of your wedding favors. One way to achieve this is by giving flower shaped candles. Not only can they be shaped to most closely fit the type of flower you want to use, they also add the romantic ambiance that only candles can provide. These would definitely be an item that your guests will appreciate receiving. Another option is that of favor boxes. Decorate the package with the native flowers of your area. These can be a great way to add detail to the presentation of the gifts. If your wedding is held out of town, try to see if you can utilize exotic flowers in a way that you may not normally be able to do in a more traditional spring themed wedding.

Another important suggestion is to think about the message you are trying to convey in the gifts you are giving. While you are trying to use the theme of spring and the garden, try to make sure the message is easy to understand. For example try making use of the language of flowers such as the forget-me-not to convey a message remembrance and fidelity. It will make an interesting conversation starter among your guests. Also it might help to make use of items that incorporate great detail as it will make the symbolism easier to understand. Overall keep it clear and clean cut. Trying too hard will not only make it difficult to find the right favors but also make it harder for your guests to get the meaning you are trying to convey.

Finally use the event itself to find unique ways to present your spring and garden themed presents. For example you can model the flower arrangement for the table around the wedding favors. You can also use the theme of a spring garden party with the servers presenting the gifts along with the garden themed menu. The key is coordinating each element to emphasize one other.

Spring is a special season for marriage. Try to take advantage of it in every aspect of your wedding preparations when this is the season you choose for the ceremony.
