Red and Gold
Print each name in gold on a pomegranate. The rich red color and hard texture of the pomegranate make it the perfect fruit
to write on. Use permanent or liquid ink in gold, silver, or black.

Tag a Stem
Shiny metal plant tags, available from garden stores, turn fruits with stems into instant place-setters. Cut the tag to size,
then write the name on it with a black permanent marker.

Magnolia Marker
Write a name on the back of a magnolia leaf. Use a pen with white or silver ink. The leathery texture of the leaf complements
table linens. Coordinate the napkin color.

Cherry Chestnut
Cut a slit in a chestnut for a placecard. Use a craft knife to make the cut. Silver ink reads well on dark brown paper, and
scalloped scissors give the card a decorative edge.
