When you have a smaller guest list and are looking for an interesting way to display your placecards, you may want to consider creating a ribbon placecard frame.

Start by finding a great frame – I love digging through garage sales and thrift stores to find a great option, like the one below…I loved this because it had a white wooden inner frame already.

I started by taking apart the frame and discarding the picture. Then I spray painted the frame a metallic silver.

On the inner wooden frame (or create an inner frame yourself (even using cardboard), begin lining up your ribbon, starting at the top and slightly overlapping each ribbon. Secure on backside of wooden frame with tape or staples.

Keep adding ribbon until you have the entire inner frame covered. Place inner frame back inside of main frame and secure (I used a special clear duct tape to secure the backside of the frames together.

You are then ready to add placecards and place on display for guests – you can see this frame in action on the Nuance Occasions Parisian Garden Wedding.

I’d love to see pictures of the ribbon placecard frames you create!
