Escort card display

I just bought our escort cards (I am absolutely in love with them!), but I don't know how to display them... they are the same size as business cards but they don't fold. So I would need some way to "prop" them up so they don't just lie flat on a table. I don't really want to put pins in them (on a board) because they're so pretty, it would mess them up.  Any ideas?

    [QUOTE]What about clothespins?

    I thought about that, but I didn't know what I would attach them to. And I don't know if they really "go" with the card... it's sort of fancy, but sort of not. It's silvery/metallic, but the wording is fun and laid back. So hard :(

    [QUOTE]What about making them magnets?
    Posted by edielaura[/QUOTE]

    Hmmm... that's a thought. I could probably find cheap little magnets somewhere and then just figure out something to hang them on.

    [QUOTE]Any specific theme for your wedding?  If so you could get little stands for them that match your theme.

    No theme - neither of us wanted to be pressured to keep everything on one specific track. We're mainly just sticking to colors. Cornflower blue and silver. It's pretty low maintenance though, nothing over the top.

    Don't foget that if you made them magnets that if they have meal choices on them that won't work, because they will also need to be visibally displayed at their seat so the food can be passed. However if that is not an issue for you then the magnet idea would work.

    Depending on your theme you could use a lot of things. Some things I've seen done: wine corks, apples or other fruit like pears, your wedding favor, and they also make little silver type holders in different shapes if you just google.

    I've always loved the wine cork idea like here: http://flickriver.com/photos/sugarenvy/3530268034/ Or since you have silver what about forks like this: http://weddingphotography.com.ph/9137/wedding-seating-arrangement-ideas-place-card-holders-seating-cards/

    I love the forks!!  If you buy the little circle shaped paperclips you can straighten the end and stick it in most anything that goes with your theme!!
