I got the idea from this picture I saw in Modern Bride Aug/Sep 2008 issue. I loved the look, but didn't want to spend $4.00 each on my place cards. I decided to make them myself just using a heavier paper.

UPDATE: 2/18/09

I started making them. It's a lot harder than I thought! FI has really neat hand writing so I'm waiting for him to start writing names....plus we should probably wait until we get rsvp's in! (I HATE having unfinished projects!!!)
