For an all-frills setup with little fuss, slip seating cards in between rows of ribbons. Cover foam boards (ours are 20 by 30 inches) with satin and grosgrain ribbons; randomly layer narrow ribbons over wide ones. Pin the ribbon ends to backs of boards, inserting straight pins at an angle to secure. Slip in envelopes by their flaps or bottoms.
I absolutely love this idea! We have a very limited set-up time and I was worried about having to place all of the cards out on a table for guests to pick up but this will make things really easy! We can put everything together ahead of time and organize all the cards by last name and then all we will have to do is carry in the boards and prop them on tables! I think I will add a sign or a cut-out on top of each board that says A-H, I-N, O-Z so people can quickly find the correct board that has their name card.
This looks like a fun and easy project and also an easy way to incorporate a lot of the accent colors in with the main wedding colors in a display piece! Keep posting these great do-it-yourself ideas!
