place card holders XP

[Deleted User]

Hello lades,
I'm doing some beach themed items for my reception and my current in progress item is the place cards and place card holders. I came across these:

http://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Adirondack-Chair-Place-Photo/dp/B001CWFSCK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_2
OR THESE:
http://www.amazon.com/White-ADIRONDACK-CHAIR-placecard-holders/dp/B000VOP8ZW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_5

and thought about lining all the chairs up in sand somehow...but I think it could get pricey because we have about 250 guests so I'll need to purchase over 100 chairs. I'm also not sure by the decribtion if it comes with cards that I can write or type on. Anyone ever used these or know where to get them cheaper? Or have other cute ideas that are beachy? Thanks!!

Hi! I am doing a beachy theme also since we are getting married by the water. I am doing shells I picked up on the beach (FREE!!!) as the place cards. Something similar to this, but I don't think I'll be painting mine:




If you have the extra money, I'd say go for the chairs because they are super cute! But, maybe you know someone crafty that could make them? Or you could do something like this:

I love them!  Why don't you do the first link and just make them your favors, too?  Then you can justify the cost :-D

Edited:  Whoops!  Did not see the price... wish they were 99 cents like the second ones...  Have you tried Etsy?

I like the customer image under them where they put wrapped candy in the chair and it looks like a beach ball. Id say double as favor to justify the price.

These ones are $1.09 not as bad as the amazon price. Just google the heck out of the item and compare.

Can you do something with sea glass as place holders?
