27 Unique Ways To Reuse Wedding Place Card Holders
By Ellen Moore
Place card holders have become a popular wedding favor and this time of year, you are probably collecting them right and left. Or you have accumulated several over the years. Each one is a special little treasure, a memento of a special day you shared with a friend or family member...but what can you do with them after you get them home?
The movie 27 Dresses got me to thinking about all the other things you accumulate from weddings over the years. Dresses, programs, bouquets. However, with the popularity of place card holders, my thoughts automatically turned to these little treasures. They are so cute and unique that we can't leave them on the reception table, but...what do we do with them when we have a half dozen or more? Well, I am going to attempt to give you 27 uses for these little wedding favors!

1. Obvious, a favorite photo from the wedding.
2. Still obvious, a photo of your spouse, child, pet, or friends.
3. Add a magnetic strip from hobby store to back to make a fridge magnet for a photo, miniature art work, or inspirational statement.
4. For Father's or Mother's day, a picture of the kids.
