Edible Place Cards

Edible place cards were a truly excellent addition to the world of party favors because this one item serves dual roles - first as the event's place cards and second as the party favor. Both 'must haves' at many affairs. Tack on to that the fact that population love receiving a appetizing favor for them to savor once they return home  and you have sheer brilliance!

You have a concentrate of options when it comes to edible place cards:

Ballpoint Pen

Personalized Label Chocolate Bar Place Cards

These personalized wrappers, in addition to having a short message or the name(s) of the guest(s) of honor on them, also consist of two lines, one with the word "Name" in front of it and the other with "Table". This way you can fill in the names and table assignments as necessary. I would strongly propose against using a ball point pen to do so - there's too much opening of tearing through the label. Instead opt for a felt tip pen.

Typically you can select to buy the wrappers alone and then you would affix them to candy bars or you can also purchase them already wrapped colse to bars. Most labels are sized for Hershey® bars but with a bit of searching you can also find wrappers for epicurean chocolate bars or larger sized chocolate bars.

Personalized Label Mint Tins

These reusable tins have labels similar to chocolate bars, however, you can use a ball point pen on them since the labels are attached to a solid surface made of tin. Most mint tin vendors also give you a option of several candy fillings.

Pure Chocolate Edible Place Cards

The king of all edible place cards is the pure chocolate place card. Everything about the place card is edible  including the 'ink' used to write guest's names and table assignments. With these  all the work is done for you - you plainly provide a printed guest list (including their table assignments) to the chocolatier. These tend to be pricey but they are typically at least 5 ounces of solid, selected chocolate. And they surely have the 'wow' factor going for them.  If you want your to make a splash at your event - these are the ticket!
