A budget and eco-friendly way to replace the typical paper place cards is to paint your guests’ names on rocks and stones that complement the aesthetic of a garden wedding. For a more personal touch, create the same effect with big, brightly-coloured leaves by drying them out and writing a small message to thank guests for coming to your wedding. Not only will these natural place cards reflect the beautiful surroundings of outdoor wedding venue, but they can also double as gifts for your guests to take home!

2. Crystal Place Cards

These alluring additions are sure to charm and dazzle your guests while making for beautiful keepsakes long after the ceremony is over. Consider agate, amethyst, or rose quartz, which is also known as the crystal of love to bring some love into your guests’ lives instead! Besides holding symbolic meanings, crystals are also able to fit into any modern or boho wedding theme easily. If you are expecting a smaller guest list, you may even curate the crystals for each guest according to what you think suits them best!
