Button Place Card
January 19th, 2007 @ 5:56 pm by Mrs. Strawberry
I saw these cute little place cards in a magazine a while back (I think it was Martha) and fell in love with them. Even Mr. Strawberry digs them!
I ordered different buttons from oneinchround.com to attach to little chocolate brown cards. I’m super excited!

i’ve wanted to order some for weddingbee. i found places online that were cheaper… but how happy were you with the quality? the look awesome!
Where are these places you speak of? 
I didn’t know about any others. They were fast and did what I wanted. The only problem was the denomination–I had to ordera minimum of 100.
actually nevermind i was looking at b&w printing. lol. wow they let you order a variety with only a 100? pretty sweet! so you’d recommend them?
no–that was the problem. I had to order 100 of each different print. But they did a good job none the less.
what size did you use? i really like this idea. man i wish i wasn’t such a copycat! lol. thank goodness no one will ever know that hardly any of my ideas were original. lol.
I steal all my ideas from mags!! I used the smallest size–1 inch
ah ok. i was thinking of ordering at least 500 too.
Does anyone know any sites where I can order an assortment of funky designs like the ones in the picture? I like the randomness and being able to tie certain buttons to certain people! Any suggestions appreciated!
Miss Strawberry — I love your buttons! Did you do a custom design, or did you go through their EZ design? How hard was the whole “designing” process?
I went the custom route. I used my invite proofs, the caricature on my save the dates, and a logo that knottie Netter B used–but in my colors. They were great to work with and fast turn around!
I SHOULD SOOOOOO have gone w. this idea instead of my paper cranes!!
cute!
i loved that pic in the magazine too!
i’m sure there are places where you can get the assortment..
ooh! weddingbee 1″ round buttons???? i like i like!!
Miss Strawberry, you have done it again - level of cuteness is off the meter!
cute idea!
btw- totally random, but i have the same ilee letterpressed calendar! ja’s work is amazing!
If you want to go the DIY route you can buy button making kits for around $30. We’re making buttons and putting two in a mini bird’s nest at each place setting.
Super cuteness!!!
did you need a special program to make them custom?
they’re so cute!
so cute. well done! i loved this idea when i saw it in martha. i am so excited to hear how they go over with the guests.
So cute! LOVE them!
[…] too classy and forget about the two silly kids that are at the center of this event! I adored the button placecard idea that Martha popularized, but since I don’t have a button maker (nor did I want to pay the […]
