Wedding guestlist: Place cards

I'm not sure how I came up with this idea, but it sounds really cool in theory.

At first I wanted the guest seating cards to be made out of cookies... but after really thinking about it, cookies may not be the best idea. What if guests eat their cookie before they're seated and forget which table they're sitting at?? This could definitely happen, and I don't want to deal with it... or the expensive cookies that may melt on the way to the venue.

I may not be the most creative person, but I have to pat myself on the back for my new idea. The theme is wedding in the park, right? How do I bring in the park in the least expensive way? I'm not really a huge fan of flowers, and don't want huge flower arrangements on the seating card table.

So, check out my idea: What if I placed on top of the table trays of grass, and on top of the grass, each guest name will neatly placed.

The grass would be shorter than this... but imagine a table full of these small trays that interlock and cute cards on top. It's cheap, it can be thrown away at the end of the night, and best of all, I can grow the grass myself within 2 weeks!!

I'm going to try it out, and grow a few small trays of grass.

I had this delivered at work, and I'm going to plant the seeds this weekend. When I'm done with this experiment, the dogs can eat the grass. WIN-WIN!
