Place Card Holders in the middle of cupcakes?

Question

Where can I find place card holders that will be able to stick in the middle of a cupcake (real cupcakes). I want to use these as my wedding favors, but with a note on top saying "Thank you". I already have a seating chart I will be using on an easal. All of the place card holders I have seen, have a large base. Here is a similar example shown below...except the candle part and it will be a real cupcake....

Answer 1

It's really hard to find anything small for the place card holders. You are right, most of them have a very large base.

You might be better off trying to design something yourself. Maybe you could get some popsicle sticks or colored sticks at the craft store - then you can just glue the place cards onto the sticks and put them right into the cupcake.

EDIT:

Here are some picks that you might be able to glue them onto. http://www.partyoptions.net/party_picks/...

I googled "party picks" and a lot of stuff came up. I would think the easiest thing to do would be to find a pick that has a long stick and then just glue the card right onto it.

I hope that this helps! Good luck!

We bought some wire at the craft store that comes on spools, then we cut off 8" lengths.  We wrapped one end around a pencil 3 times creating a spiral that we then pushed together to make our card holders.  We made up thank you cards using blank business card sheets from office supply store and placed them in the spirals, it worked out perfectly.  The wire comes in either gold or silver.

Hope this helps

Here are some that hold the card, but the colors might not work for you, I don't know what color you wanted:

That site has a HUGE selection, maybe you can find something that will inspire you ( =

You could also use something like this and nestle or glue the card in the ribbons, these come in other colors:

Those are adorable!!  I would suggest a craft store like Michaels, they have lots of wedding supplies, maybe they would have something like this.  Or else keep searching online.  Try a Google search for cupcake place holders and see what kind of sites pop up.  eBay is also a great place to find wedding stuff, and it's new stuff, not used (well read the details carefully of course).
