You can get a die cut in a leaf pattern and I would pre print the names on card stock and then cut them into squares/ rectangles and punch away!
1) I think it works!
2) I think that will depend on if you can find the apples for a cost effective price :)
3) no help here :(
4) You could do them using a labels template and then cut them out freehand. That's what I would do - that way you can make minor adjustments for different length names, etc. but still have them all relatively uniform in size, and totally uniform in style.
If you don't find a punch though you should be able to just free cut those leaves, most of them look like it's just a basic shape, like drawing an eye on a face :) You should be able to do it in word, just line them up on the page, you should be able to fit about a dozen names per page I would guess!
PP's have the how-to and where-to's covered, I just wanted to offer my opinion on the apples vs. pears. I like the pears better, honestly. Good idea, and good luck. :)
I think pears are just as good as apples, for sure.
Would you consider REAL green apples or pears?
As far as the leaf tags, I'd go to dafont and download a wingding font that had leaves and use that as a template in illustrator. Then I'd make a sheet of them and add the names, print out on green cardstock, then cut out.
I agree with mnsoonerbride...I think real pears or apples would work great and be pretty cheap.
PS...I totally love your venue. I looked at it myself before I chose one. hehehe.
Holy COW! You are AWESOME! They're more expensive than i was hoping, but, AWESOME!
Apples are sized at 1.75" x 1.5" Not including stem
Pears are 2" x 2.5" so a bit bigger..
If I alternated to save cost... ($45 is $45 :-) would that look crazy with the size differential?
Good job, DayDreamWanderer! I would go with that site and buy the pins and leaves and everything if I were you.
If you want to save the money, I feel like I've seen a template for those leaves on Martha. She used real Lady Apples (tiny ones) and added the paper leaf. I plan on doing that! (And maybe dunking the bottom in a little caramel. Mmmm.)
i think the look is beautiful and i think pears or apples both are fall-ish
but honestly, i would do fresh apples instead of candles. (probably more affordable) i wouldnt even think of taking home the place card holder (so it would be wasted) and if there was a note or annoucement or something saying i could take it home, i would think it was lame. a lot of people do NOT burn candles, so they would either leave them, or throw them away, or they would collect dust at their house.
you can take the apples after, wash them and make applesauce, or cider from them.
oh and for your leaf question. i would print the names on cardstock (in whatever ink/font/paper you like) then get a leaf hole punch from a craft store and punch out the names. (you will need to know the size and shape of the leaf before desiging the paper to print.

I've been dreading place cards and table numbers. We don't really have a "theme" per se, it's more of just traditional elegance. Our colors are eggplant/blue and greens. So it's a pretty elegant take on "fall." Theres no orange, pumpkins, or leaves...
We're expecting around 180 ish guests, so I'd like to keep the cost per "card" to about $1.
I saw this a few times on the knot, and I think this might be the perfect soln.
They are green apple candles. I've found a ton of red apple candles, and I found a great Pear candle... but do pears feel as "fall'ish" as apples? The only green apple candles I've been finding are out of country or $5-7 each. Too expensive.
These are the pear candles I found... 2 for $1.99
I also thought of maybe alternating Apples and pears? Then, once we solve the missing apple candle....
How do I print and cut or format a leaf? I'm horrible at handwriting so that's not really an option...
Or, will this probably not work at all for our wedding... This is out venue (sorry so large) and will be lit similar with the purples/blues.. no stars and the walls too...
Black Table Cloths. Centerpieces are alternating square containers black or clear. The black has moss with curly willow, delphinium and dendrobium and a variegated grass. The clear has river rocks with the grass in the container with the same in a different shape. One is tall and one is short and wide..... if that makes sense..
So, I guess I'm wondering....
1) does this idea work? If yes continue to question 2 :-) If no, please tell me! Especially if you have another idea...
2) Just Apples, Just Pears, or Both?
3) Any idea on WHERE to get these cost effectively?
4) Ideas on how to do the actual seating card via a printer and not by hand?
