1. Charming Place Cards
It is often the details that make a wedding memorable. An alternative to traditional paper place cards, are hand-doodled place card that allow you to get creative and display an elegant addition to your wedding centerpieces. These Love Doves are another example. Use these stencils to draw the two doves and the stand, then write out your guests’ names in your own handwriting.

To save time, you could replace the stand with a thick piece of card, and simply stick the Doodled doves and name on top of the card.
