Often it\u2019s the creative touches and clever accents that really catch guests\u2019 eyes. In this case, we\u2019re focusing on a \u2018fruity\u2019 idea for your card holders\u2014whether for buffet labels, place cards, table names or numbers, or mini signs. So get your printables ready this summer. Gather your favorite fruits. And let\u2019s craft those card holders. It’s time to try something different as table decor!<\/p>\n

What Fruits to Use as Card Holders<\/h2>\n

Depending on the season of the year, the theme and color scheme of your event, and what\u2019s available where you are, you may choose from:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. citrus fruits – oranges, lemons, limes<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. firm or fleshy fruits – apples, pears, mangoes, peaches<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. large fruits that can be sliced or sectioned – watermelons, pineapples, cantaloupes<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. special \u2018decorative\u2019 fruits – coconuts, dragon fruit, star fruit<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Crafting the Card Holders for your Tables<\/h2>\n

    \"Buffet<\/p>\n

    Again, a lot depends on your party setting and motif, but a general how-to would be:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make the fruit stable, if necessary, by slicing off a thin layer of its skin or rind on its bottom side.<\/li>\n
    2. To add height, stack smaller fruits (like the oranges in the photo of our Havana Night’s party theme<\/a><\/strong>).<\/li>\n
    3. For an interesting effect, cut the fruit into halves, slices, or wedges. Also, use cookie cutters for even more unique shapes!<\/li>\n
    4. Prepare appetizer picks, wooden skewers, barbecue sticks, or even lengths of wire with one end bent into a card-holding shape.<\/li>\n
    5. Stick these into the fruit and position the fruit holders where desired on your food or dessert buffet, drinks bar, welcome display, or party tables. Do remember, that they can also serve as place card holders!<\/li>\n
    6. Finally, attach or insert the cards or labels when the holders are in place to avoid accidentally soiling the signs or smearing the text with fruit juice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      That\u2019s it! Fun, fast, and even budget-friendly fruity card holders for your wedding celebration!<\/p>\n
