Easy and Affordable Table-Setting Ideas

Perfect Place Cards

When it comes to place settings, keep it simple and focus on the details. These creative place cards, which double as napkin rings, are easy and inexpensive (less than $1 each!) to make.

1. Cut out colored shapes from scrapbooking card stock.
2. Write each guest’s name on a card.
3. Use a hole punch to make a small hole in each card.
4. Run a piece of ribbon (we used wire ribbon) through each card, and then tie them around each napkin.

Hostess tip: Check your local crafts store for discounted ribbon. Oftentimes, they will have bins of marked-down trimmings.
