My brother is getting married at the end of April and they are having a tulip themed wedding . I’m trying to come up with a cool, inexpensive, but creative way to display the place cards. I thought maybe hang them from a tree and make them tulip in shape or something like that. Any ideas? The bride is hard to please but any suggestions would be appreciated. I thought something with fresh flowers but not have to give each person a flower or a bulb. I thought a tulip bulb would be cool – naturally I was shot down.

I'm not having a tulip-themed wedding, but this is how my place cards will be displayed. The will be on a round table at the entrance to the ball room, nestled in a bed of alternating cream and pink rose petals (think rows of place cards radiating out from the center of the table with the petals in between). You could do something like that in the brides colors. Hanging them from a tree sounds pretty, the only problem being, if there are a lot of people it makes it hard to find your card. Usually they are displayed in alphabetical order just for the sake of convenience. I personally love the idea of the tulip bulb, maybe wrapped in some tulle or in a small flower pot. Honestly a bag of tulip bulbs is darn cheap if you get it from Sam's Club or BJ's, so I don't think it would break the bank.

I have a great idea! Get little mini flowre pots and decorate them. Attach the place cards to a green stick, have them shaped as a tulip (various colors and whatnot as well) that way the card looks like a potted tulip plant. I think that would be so cute and i bet at a big home and garden store you could find the pots really cheap. Then they can be decorated to fit your theme or personalized to the couple they are for. I think that would look super cute on the table too!
PS. You can also put real soil in the pot and give them seeds to plant as the gift/favor!

Try going to the dollar store and finding cheap flower scented votives in the color theme of the wedding. (about 4-6 for a dollar) Go to your local craft store and get some pretty, yet inexpensive ribbon. Also get some tags and a gold or silver pen to write the guests names on them (good handwriting a plus LOL). Buy a hole puncher( they may have some in the shapes of a tulip at the craft store) so you can place the ribbon trough the hole and tie around candle with a bow. you can display with candles lit ( if lit than you will need something under the votive to catch the wax. Try the dollar store for something cheap) or unlit ( so the guests can take them home.)
PS: It would also be neat to sprinkle tulip petals around the votives.
PPS I personally loved YOUR idea myself.

maybe tulip shaped cards set on a table with some real tulips shattered around.
You could have the table nubers be different colors of tulips- Like at the seating table have a sign with a red tulip and number 1 on it and on the place cards have it red paper shaped like a tulip with table 1 written on it.
hope that makes sence?
You could have the centerpiece be red tulips instead of the sign.
good luck!

You soon to be sil is crazy - I think a tulip bulb with a raffia tied place card attached would be perfect! Are you doing this for her wedding reception?? Forget that - use your perfect bulb idea for the reheasal dinner (your parents are paying for). I think you have a great idea - whatever you do, please don't use plastic.
