Get creative when it comes to setting your holiday table. A fun place card can add a lot of personality to a set of basic linens. Try using a favorite photo of each of your guests instead of writing their names. Just take or find a photo where each subject is somewhat centered and by themselves. Print your photos in the regular 4x6 size, and cut them to be two inches tall. Make a cylinder and staple the back together. Note that if you use a horizontal photo, your napkin ring will be looser while a vertical photo will create a tighter ring. Slip in your napkins and voila!
