Vintage Love Keys Typewriter Holder*
What better way to show a love of words than with the Vintage Love Keys Typewriter Holder. A beautifully crafted and designed little replica, this tiny typewriter can hold a place card that can say just about anything you want, making it a rather versatile piece in party decorating arrangements. At 1.75"W x 1.1"H it takes up almost no room on a crowded table, yet it is the first thing a guest picks up and turns over.
Use the tiny typewriters to indicate seat settings throughout the space. You can even attach another card so your guest can write wishes or advice for a couple getting married, in the case of a wedding party. It is also the perfect place setting for a writers club or a book club. If you truly love the written word, then say it decoratively by placing these throughout the space with famous quotes from some of the greatest authors in history. The tiny typewriters can be used as favors, or merely as a special decoration to indicate that the book lovers are on their way.
The card is what carries your wording. If you desire, you can also have us send you one of four optional cards, decorated in gilded print, with the words "the key to my heart", "the truest type of love", "love is the key" and "page one" depending on the type of mood you want to set. Personalized place cards can be printed with your own wording instead: a guest's name and a table number, both of your names and your date, or a line from the book that started it all.
Steal this great IDEA! Achieve three things with one charming typewriter holder. Create a display with the small typewriters. Add names and table numbers to the top of each card with double sided tape. Design a sign that asks guests to take the small favor item to their table and write a few words of advice for the Bride and Groom on the back of the card. Add a container such as a vase to your centerpieces, then attach a note that instructs guests to leave their wishes in the vase and to take the small typewriter home as a token of appreciation.
Choose your quantity, add your place card wording above, and let your tables tell the story.

Which one should I choose
The choice usually comes down to how the wording reaches the table and whether guests take anything home.
| Vintage Love Keys Typewriter Holder with personalized place cards | Choose it when each card should carry a guest's name and table number in your own wording, with a minimum of 24 cards. |
|---|---|
| Vintage Love Keys Typewriter Holder with a gilded-print card | Choose it for a smaller party or a table for two, where a set phrase such as "the key to my heart" says enough. |
| A plain folded paper place card | Choose it when seating is all you need; nothing stays on the table as decoration and nothing goes home with the guest. |
For a literary or vintage wedding where the seating card is also the decoration and the favor, the Vintage Love Keys Typewriter Holder covers all three.
