How to?

in African American Weddings
So at each place setting we will have a chocolate covered strawberry on a gold doilie. I want to indicate to guests that these are to be eaten first with the quote

"Life is short. We eat desert first. Love, Devin & Jelaine"

I already got the menus and didnt put that on there. MY DOC suggested a toothpick with a little flag but I hate the idea.....

Any thoughts on how to make this happen.

    Not sure if they are big enough..... if I put 2 on the table would it look odd?

    you could make 4 folded cards for each table on vista print that look like something below but not sure what all your able has..don't want it to look too crowded. DSC_6390.1

    this is an adorable idea. The little flag doesnt sound so bad, maybe make it into a circle and not a flag shape, and print it on pretty paper?

    Are you doing cake also?

    I think also if you used cellophane to wrap the strawberry you could do a sticker.

    Would the berry have a stem? Maybe place a flag/tab on the stem... Tho, I like the card idea which may make things easier.

    a lil flag... is a cute idea... do you have a particular time frame as to when you want them to eat the strawberry?

    Hmmm... exactly the first pic ro....

    so how would I do the circle? The venue is placing the strawberries so whatever I do has to be simple. i'm not sure they'd wrap them.....

    toothpick...circle label on each side?..

    @key not sure what the berries will look like.

    We will have cake later

    @ro where on vp are those cards?

    i wouldnt use label paper only because its so thin and you dont get many color options. You can buy some pretty scrapbook paper, print the message on there, then cut out the circles with a die cutter, which is like $10 at the craft store

    <div>Sorry to be misleading! those aren't on vistaprint..just suggesting that you could make a card with the wording and put them on the table. </div>

    That is what I was thinking...If you dont like the circle, you can get a hole punch from Michaels (thats the craft store we have in LA) in the size/shape that you want, download a template and then create the sticks...
