Keep the design of your place cards simple and understated to maintain a casual vibe. Consider adding small embellishments like twine, dried flowers, or small wooden accents to reflect your event's theme. Remember, the beauty of DIY lies in its imperfections, so don't worry about achieving perfection – embrace the handmade charm!
