Holiday Ornaments

Another great idea is to place a lovely holiday ornament at each place setting. This way you are providing your guests with both a favor AND a place card. An especially enchanting idea for holiday weddings, this could also work for any season. Ornaments are available in so many styles these days that you can easily match them to your wedding vibe. You could source yours at greatly reduced prices after Christmas, or you could make a cute DIY, like this glitter-filled glass ornament:
