These Animal Silhouette Place Cards are a fantastic way to help your favorite party animals find their seats at a safari themed bridal shower. By using a monochromatic color scheme that ties in well with our zebra striped party decor and natural elements, these place cards take on an elegant, understated look that accents a unique place setting for a bridal shower, or any occasion. If you aren’t familiar with how to write in calligraphy, that’s okay! We’ve provided an easy faux method that looks just like the real thing!
Select an animal shape and paint the entire surface with white acrylic paint. You may wish to paint both sides.
Paint the remaining animal shapes in the same way. Don’t forget to paint the stands! Allow to dry for about 10 minutes.
When the paint has dried, use a black sharpie marker to hand write each guest’s name on a wood shape. Then trace the downstrokes of your handwriting as shown in the example, and color in, creating a thickened line that, when done, looks like calligraphy. Practice on paper first if you’re feeling a little uncertain. This is a skill that is easy to pick up fast.
Assemble the wood shapes onto their stands and your place cards are complete!
Display your completed place cards on an arranged table setting with fringe placemats, palm leaves for a touch of green color, clear and black plates for a fun layered look, and top it off with some fun zebra napkins!
